Open peer review and post peer review: Next emerging scientific journals standard
(PRWEB) November 28, 2016 -- Open access journals are the major source of knowledge for young and aspiring generations who are keen in pursuing a career in scientific and healthcare research. This system provides easy access to networks of scientific journals. Authors that contribute their scholarly works to peer reviewed journals gain remarkable reputation as the research scholarly explores these works extensively. This open access process assures considerable impact for the journal and reputation to the authors. Considering the open access importance, Pulsus is increasing its portfolio of Open access journals like International Journal of Clinical Skills, The International Tinnitus Journal, and Journal of Experimental Stroke & Translational Medicine etc.
Open peer review system adopted by several scientific journals, allowing the open peer reviews in parallel to the traditional double or single blind review model. Pulsus group journals is also adopting open peer review for some its journals to provide the modest benefits to authors, reviewers and readers.
Post peer review process does not end after a paper completes the prepublication peer review process. After being put to press, or having been digitally published, the process of peer review continues as publications are read. Readers will often send letters to the editor of a journal, or correspond with the editor via an on-line journal commentary or through digital media. In this way, all 'peers' may offer review and critique of published literature. A variation on this theme is open peer commentary; journals using this process solicit and publish non-anonymous commentaries on the "target paper" together with the paper, and with original authors' reply as a matter of course. The introduction of the "e-pub ahead of print" practice in many journals has made possible the simultaneous publication of unsolicited letters to the editor together with the original paper in the print issue. The above paragraph obtained from Wikipedia and few Pulsus journals allowing post publication review system for transparent process.
Recently many publishers and scientific community following articles metrics than the traditional impact factors, articles metrics also called as article-level-metrics or Altmetrics or Article Impact factors. Today, authors need not wait for their works to be cited by the others in the scholarly world. They need not wait for the impact factor to be counted for their credibility and success. The emerging alternative metrics to gauge the author’s success is available in the form of article impact factor. Pulsus group adopting articles metrics.
