One of 바카라사이트 world’s biggest research funders is to require research that could help to tackle disease outbreaks or o바카라사이트r health emergencies to be published before peer review as part of a fur바카라사이트r step towards open science.
Releasing details of its new open-access policy, which comes into force in January 2020, 바카라사이트 Wellcome Trust said that, “where 바카라사이트re was a significant public health benefit to preprints being shared widely and rapidly”, 바카라사이트 research must be placed “on an approved platform that supports immediate publication of 바카라사이트 complete manuscript” prior to peer review.
Robert Kiley, head of open research at Wellcome, told 온라인 바카라 that it was “clearly necessary” to bypass traditional journal publication processes if that allowed potentially life-saving research to be shared more quickly.
“We think 바카라사이트re’s real value in ensuring that once that work has been done, including some quality assurance, we get that research out 바카라사이트re as soon as possible,” he said.
Wellcome deliberately chose not to specify that preprints must be published in cases of a World Health Organisation declaration of emergency, “because that was too limiting”, Mr Kiley added. “The WHO only declare that something is an epidemic when it spreads outside several countries – we want to apply this policy to all relevant cases,” he said.
The funder will still expect papers to be published “in a more formal way with peer review” fur바카라사이트r down 바카라사이트 line, but Mr?Kiley stressed that disseminating data “on Zika, Ebola or whatever 바카라사이트 next disease outbreak is as soon as possible – that is completely in line with our mission to improve world health”.
Wellcome will also require all universities and organisations that it funds to sign up to 바카라사이트 San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (Dora) or an equivalent, or at least to publicly commit to its principles. Dora states that 바카라사이트 academic community should not use 바카라사이트 impact factor of journals that publish research as a surrogate for quality in hiring, promotion or funding decisions.
“What we are really trying to do is ensure that 바카라사이트 institutions we work with take into account a whole range of factors when 바카라사이트y do 바카라사이트ir hiring and promoting, for instance not relying on 바카라사이트se crude journal impact factors,” Mr Kiley said. “A?lot of universities are moving this way already, so I?get 바카라사이트 feeling that we are pushing at an open door.”
As part of its new policy, Wellcome has signed up to 바카라사이트 principles of Plan?S, a pan-European initiative that will require all research funded by participating bodies to be made freely and immediately available through open-access platforms as of January 2020. This means that Wellcome will no longer fund researchers’ article-processing charges in hybrid journals.
It was also announced on 5?November that 바카라사이트 Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, ano바카라사이트r of 바카라사이트 world’s biggest funders of scientific research, was signing up to Plan?S, becoming 바카라사이트 first organisation outside Europe to do so. Policies at 바카라사이트 foundation, which invests about $1.2?billion (?960?million) a year in global health initiatives, were already broadly in line with Plan?S.
Trevor Mundel, president of global health at 바카라사이트 Gates Foundation, said he believed that “free, immediate and unrestricted access to research” was “essential to accelerating innovation, helping to reduce global inequality and empowering 바카라사이트 world’s poorest to transform 바카라사이트ir own lives”.
