Goals and intentions
SciPost was born out of the recognition that the currently available publishing infrastructure does not properly serve the interests of science, and that these are best served by scientists themselves.
The initiative aims to reform all aspects related to scientific publishing. In particular, SciPost's mission is to:
- Implement Genuine Open Access
- Clean up the business model of scientific publishing
- Reform refereeing methods and habits
- Reform impact assessment methods and habits.
