PEER J Model for Open Access

The Peer J Scientific Online Journal introduces the need for this new order of publication as follows:
We are fully aware that being appropriately indexed and maximally discoverable is extremely important for our authors. We understand that you publish your research so that others can discover, read, discuss, cite and build upon it. If no one can discover, let alone read, the article that you spent years researching, and months writing, then it was pointless to even publish it in the first place.
We see that Open Access, and the associated benefits of open and early sharing are increasingly being understood by academia; and finally we hear from a lot of scientists who are now looking for a suitable preprint venue for their work.

This journal has full legitimacy as an acceptable peer reviewed publication for researchers who are already establish researchers publishing in their professional society publications, and for young academic professionals who need to establish a publication resume for academic advancement.This has become very important because of the long timelines for research publications in peer reviewed journals, and the effect on establishing an earned reputation needed for advancement.

The features enumerated are not trivial. When writing for scientific publication, the

• finding of relevant related research publication, and
• adequate citation of other work is both important and laborious
  • in constructing the discussion and support of a novel concept.

These two developments are a strong emergence of a process as significant as Guttenberg’s introduction of the printing press, which opened the door to a

• flourishing Western Culture enriched by
• theater, opera, literary arts, journals, and the newspaper.

Just as the newspaper, radio, television, and the traditional movie have been in transformation in response to an

• all the time noisy and stressfully hard to discern target audience,
• the scholarly publications are under pressure to change and to go to the next level.

These two events are followed by the announcement of eLife, in life sciences research.

I tip my hat to IBMs Watson for creating a vision of man and computer as partners, although it was perhaps germinated by the earlier work by the physician who

• first created the structure for the medical record, then went on without the technology we have today
• to create the first feasible, but labor intensive EHR.

The ICHOR lab system was first to  focus on WORKFLOW, but it also

• did not have the advantages of technology that emerged in the last decade.

In a separate parallel advance, Eugene Rypka in Albuquerque advance the feature extraction and analysis of bacterial classification. Then,  Rosser Rudolf showed that it
had an underlying structure related to Solomon Kullback’s work on entropy, calling it “effective information”. We now use Akaike and Bayes information criteria as measures of classification adequacy.
