Peer Community In and Peer Community Journal: from preprint recommendation to diamond open access publication
Peer Community in (PCI) offers a free and transparent alternative to the traditional scientific publication system, by creating communities of researchers who evaluate and recommend preprints. Each PCI brings together ‘recommenders’ who act as editors, and recommend preprints which can then be submitted to journals or published directly in the ‘Peer Community Journal’. Launched in 2017, the PCI initiative has expanded to 21 thematic communities (including PCI Microbiology), brings together more than 2,500 scientists and is supported by more than 200 institutions worldwide.
