Open Access in Europe and US
• Support in Europe– European Commission makes OA a “general principle” of
Horizon 2020 - €80billion programme in research and innovation.
– “We need Open Access to scientific information” (Neelie Kroes, Vice-President of the European Commission responsible for the Digital Agenda”
• Support in the US– Research Works Act - withdrawn– Petition calling for OA received over 29k signatures– Federal Research Public Access Act reintroduced

Open access is just one part of a broader transition
• Assess technical merits of work
• Assess likely significance of work
The goals of peer review
How does peer review work?

Limitations of the print model
• Presentation of new research often limited by the print edition
• Time to put digital first

What is eLife?• A collaboration between funders and the research community to improve
research communication• A researcher-led digital publication for outstanding work across the life
sciences• A platform to maximize the reach and influence of new research and to
showcase new approaches for the presentation and assessment of research

A new approach to the editorial process
• Swift triage process by Senior Editors• BRE member assigned as a reviewer• A single review decision, reflecting a consensus of reviewers’ comments• Identify only essential revision requirements• Most revisions assessed by the handling editor, without further review
The end resultA constructive process
Reduced times from submission to acceptance
