COVID + Preprints
-
Enormous influx of COVID Preprints
-
Quickly researchers were drowned in information
-
Difficult to discern good from bad
First Response
-
Various orgs emerged to manage community preprint reviews
-
Adhoc + Bespoke toolset (no preprint platforms)
NCRC
-
Novel Coronavirus Research Compendium (NCRC)

Design Principles of Kotahi
-
All workflows have the same steps (create, review, publish, curate) but in a different order
-
Design with Users (including researchers)
-
Spaces, not functions
-
Avoid code enforced workflow prescriptiveness
-
Avoid multiple roles when one will do
-
Single Source
-
1+1 Design System
-
Features are always abstractions
-
Realtime Comms, presence indicators etc
Emergent
Publish-Review-Curate Journal Workflows
Sciety’s mission is to grow a network of researchers who evaluate, curate and consume scientific content in the open. In doing so, we will support several long-term changes to scientific communication:
- Change peer review to better recognize its scholarly contribution
- Shift the publishing decision from editors to authors
- Move evaluation and curation activity from before to after publication
Our community-driven technology effort is producing an application that can support the changes in behaviour required to secure this future.
