email_text += ('You will have noticed that scientific publishing is currently '
'undergoing many changes, and you will hopefully agree that it is of '
'the utmost importance that the best interests of science and scientists '
'be served by these developments. After much thinking and discussion '
'about this issue, I recently decided to forge ahead and develop a new '
'online publication portal by and for scientists, aimed at turning '
'these ideas into reality.'
'\n\nThe initiative, called SciPost, aims to build on the best traditions '
'within our community (as exemplified by the arXiv.org preprint server) by '
'offering a complete scientific publication platform, run by and for '
'professional scientists, providing:\n\n'
'- a means to comment on all existing literature;\n\n'
'- a repository of links to theses (Habilitation, PhD, Master\'s);\n\n'
'- and, most importantly, a collection of community-run two-way open '
'access (no subscription fees, no author fees) journals with extremely '
'stringent (peer-witnessed) refereeing.\n\n'
'For the Journals, the main innovations are thus a redesigned, more '
'accountable refereeing process, together with a new concept for the '
'editorial process, based on our Editorial College (exclusively composed '
'of established, professionally practising scientists), designed to '
'ensure the highest achievable scientific quality while minimizing the '
'burden of the editorial workflow.\n\n'
'SciPost.org is legally based on a not-for-profit foundation and will '
'operate in perpetuity as a non-commercial entity at the exclusive service '
'of the academic sector. '
'The online portal is now operational, and we are currently busy '
'publicizing it and broadening its user base. \n\n'
'To go straight to the point, on behalf of the foundation '
'and in view of your professional expertise, I hereby would '
'like to invite you to become an Editorial Fellow and thus join the '
'Editorial College of SciPost Physics.\n\n'
'Please note that only well-known and respected senior academics are '
'being contacted for this purpose. Academic reputation and involvement '
'in the community are the most important criteria guiding our '
'considerations of who should belong to the Editorial College. We '
'envision each subfield of physics to be represented by around a dozen '
'Editorial Fellows.\n\n'
'To help you in considering this, it would be best if you were to take '
'the time to look at the website itself, which is anchored at scipost.org. '
'Registration is now generally open, but you can also personally register '
'(to become a Contributor, without necessarily committing to membership '
'of the Editorial College, this to be discussed separately) by visiting '
'the following single-use link, containing a partly pre-filled form for '
'your convenience: \n\n'
'https://scipost.org/invitation/' + cls.invitation.invitation_key + '\n\n'
'I will then activate your account. Many details about the initiative '
'can then be found at scipost.org/about and at scipost.org/FAQ. '
'Functioning of the College will proceed according to the by-laws set '
'out in scipost.org/EdCol_by-laws.\n\n'
'Since the success of this initiative is dependent on the involvement of '
'the very people it is meant to serve, we\'d be very grateful if you were '
'to give due consideration to this proposal. We would expect you to '
'commit just 2-4 hours per month to help perform Editorial duties; we will '
'adjust the number of Editorial Fellows to ensure this is the case. You '
'could try it out for 6 months or a year, and of course you could quit '
'any time you wished. We\'d be even more grateful if you considered '
'submitting a publication to one of the journals, in order to help '
'establish their reputation.\n\n'
'I\'d be happy to provide you with more information, should you require '
'it. In view of our development plans, I would be grateful if you could '
'react (by replying to this email) within the next two or three weeks, '
'if possible. I\'ll be looking forward to your reaction, your comments '
'and suggestions, be they positive or negative. If you need more time '
'to consider, that\'s also fine; just let me know.\n\n'
