Reimagining Scholarly Communication with the Publish-Review-Curate Model
Publish-Review-Curate (PRC) uncouples the dissemination of research from the processes of peer review and editorial curation, allowing for faster, more transparent, and more equitable research communication. This talk will discuss how PRC empowers authors to make their work immediately accessible on their own terms, how reviews become a public and constructive part of the record, and what modes of curation may emerge to validate, endorse, and organize the literature. We will discuss the developments that are hastening the evolution toward PRC, spotlight real-world examples, and discuss the benefits and challenges of shifting toward this approach.
