Reproducibility-first · open access · ISSN pending
Reproducible. Rigorous. Fair.
We believe good science deserves a fair deal. Fair to the researchers who do the work, and to the public who funds it. And for the strongest work, we pay you.
Free to submit. An efficient decision process, significantly faster than at most journals.
launchingFirst articles forthcoming.
Reproducible, as far as the data allow.
Open data when possible; privacy-respecting verification when it isn't. Every article states its status plainly.
A low, transparent fee.
A fraction of the usual open-access charge; need-blind waivers if it's a barrier.
You keep your copyright.
Author-retained, always. Others may reuse it with credit; your work stays yours.
We pay for the best works.
The strongest papers earn a prize paid to the authors, not a fee.
What we stand for
Academic publishing has drifted away from the people it serves. We put them back at the centre: authors keep their rights and pay a low, transparent fee. The strongest work earns a payment, not a bill. In return, every paper makes its reproducibility status explicit and verifiable as far as the data allow, so the research the public funded can actually be trusted and built upon. Fair to the author. Fair to the public. Fair to science.
Reproducibility shown, not claimed
Before we publish, we rerun your code on your data wherever the data allow, and a named editor signs the result. Every accepted paper ships with a certificate like this: proof, not a promise.
A different kind of peer review
Two decades of editor-in-chief experience, built into an editorial system designed to be author-friendly from submission to decision. Every submission gets a structured, specialised assessment, and a decision a named human signs.
Scientific assessment
Specialised checks on methods, statistics, code and reporting.
Adversarial review
Independent passes look for weaknesses; a dedicated skeptical pass challenges lenient verdicts.
Reproduction
Results rerun before publication, as far as the data allow.
Human decision
A named editor reads the evidence, makes the decision and signs it.
The full process, and exactly what is disclosed, is in the peer-review policy.
