About SciPost

Read the original SciPost description document.

SciPost is a complete scientific publication portal.

It is purely online-based, and offers freely, openly, globally and perpetually accessible science.

Being managed by professional scientists, and making use of editor-sollicited and contributed reviews, its Journals aim at the highest achievable standards of refereeing.

SciPost Commentaries allow Contributors to seamlessly comment on all existing literature.

Guiding principles

The guiding principles in the conception, implementation and administration of SciPost are:

  • scientific publications should undergo the stringest possible peer refereeing process
  • peer refereeing should be accountable and credited
  • publicly-funded science should be openly accessible to scientists and the general public, perpetually, worldwide
  • peer evaluation should not occur exclusively pre-publication

The first two principles are implemented using SciPost's maximally stringent peer-witnessed refereeing process, and by the use of Contributor Ratings.

The third principle is reflected in SciPost's not-for-profit status, financially backed by the generous support of national granting agencies, universities, foundations and individuals (see Acknowledgements below).

The fourth principle is implemented in the form of Commentary Pages associated to publications. These can either be SciPost publications, or papers published elsewhere.
