1 https://f1000research.com/about – F1000Research is an Open Research publishing platform for scientists, scholars and clinicians offering rapid publication of articles and other research outputs without editorial bias. All articles benefit from transparent peer review and editorial guidance on making all source data openly available.
3 Overlay journals are publishing initiatives that work together with repository services, but on another level, another “layer”. Overlaid publishing has various adaptations, but in principle -and in relation to the matter of peer review- it reverses the process of “first review, then publish” to “first publish, then review”. The concept first appeared in a paper of Paul Ginsparg in 1997 ( https://doi.org/10.1300/ J123v30n03_13 ).
