European Science Editing (ESE), the official journal of the European Association of Science Editors (EASE), has been re-launched as a fully Open Access journal with all content freely available and published as soon as accepted, on a new journal website hosted on the ARPHA platform, beginning 2020,.
This move is part of a strategic re-launch of the journal to provide greater focus on research and expert commentary that will inform and support editors working in the scholarly environment. The re-launch comes after several months of planning by a small working group of EASE Council members and ESE editors. Much of the non-research content previously published in the journal will now be published in the newly-created member magasine, the EASE Digest; for example, News notes, The editor's bookshelf, Resources, and interviews.
The journal is being re-launched with a new editorial board, but retaining the same Chief Editor, Ksenija Bazdaric, managing editor Dado Cakalo and associate editor Hrvoje Jakovac. An introductory editorial published in the journal explains the changes.
Ever dedicated to be a source of peer-reviewed information on all aspects of scholarly editing and publishing (i.e. research integrity, peer review, scientometrics, open science, predatory publishing, statistics), writing, translation and ethics, ESE welcomes editorials, original research articles, reviews, viewpoints and correspondence items.
ESE has moved to its new website, provided by the open-access scholarly publishing platform ARPHA (developed by scientific publisher and technology provider Pensoft), for all new articles, although the archive content will remain on the old website. This new website provides better delivery of the journal content and will help to make the journal easier to discover.
