Publishing Group
From OpenWetWare
There's been some rolling discussion of how research publishing should work (i.e., might be improved), especially as it relates to Synthetic Biology.
I'd like to propose a BYO working lunch on Thursday October 6 from noon to 1:30p to discuss current thoughts.
If this date/time don't work, please suggest another date time (before October 10).
Please add your name to the list if you will attend.
Please add your ideas/questions below that you would like to discuss.
Attending:
Things to discuss:
- Do we need a Synthetic Biology specific journal?
- Does the peer review process, as practiced work?
- Is peer review needed for engineering research articles?
- What features would we like for our papers? Reader comments? Reader Wiki?
- How should the structure of a paper be changed to reflect things like, well, the Internets?
- What existing journals are the most appropriate/receptive venues for publication of SB work?
- How is publishing on SB topics different from any other field?
- What are the other (if any) alternate publishing models already out there?
- <your question/idea>
