Medical knowledge provider BMJ has adopted ReView, River Valley’s submission and peer review system, for BMJ Open Science. The new journal applies open science principles to preclinical research, and incorporates several innovative features in peer review.
Transparency and reproducibility are at the heart of BMJ Open Science. Not only are reviews published alongside accepted manuscripts, but even the discussions between reviewers are open to the public. This 'extreme' openness is possible due to ReView's flexible 'discussion module' that is available to editors and reviewers throughout the review process.
Amongst the features included for BMJ Open Science are River Valley's latest reporting module that literally needs no training, the facility for direct submission of preprints from bioRxiv, and a configurable implementation of CASRAI's CRediT authorship taxonomy, giving authors granular recognition for their contribution.
