Nature – Mathematicians aim to take publishers out of publishing

Episciences Project to launch series of community-run, open-access journals, by Richard Van Noorden

  • “Mathematicians plan to launch a series of free open-access journals that will host their peer-reviewed articles on the preprint server arXiv. The project was publicly revealed [January 16, 2013] in a blog post by Tim Gowers, a Fields Medal winner and mathematician at the University of Cambridge, UK. The initiative, called the Episciences Project, hopes to show that researchers can organize the peer review and publication of their work at minimal cost, without involving commercial publishers.”
