TRANSPOSE: a database of journal policy records on peer review, coreviewers, & preprinting #72
Comments
I suppose you know, but folks like @wetneb are also collecting such data in structured form on Wikidata. Maybe add a CC-0 note to the spreadsheet to help future imports? :) |
According to the submission form, "Please note that all original contributions are licensed CC0", so it looks like you have already got it right, fab! |
Awesome - our original plan was actually to propose new properties for
journals for Wikidata, but we were concerned about 1) being able to clearly
define a schema up front and 2) user friendliness. Would love to learn
about and contribute to your effort!

Great! Yes I agree that it generally takes some time to agree on a schema and get properties created. It makes total sense to start collecting data upfront. Maybe it could be worth presenting the project at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Open_Access to get some feedback. I might be able to attend the doathon, but not 100% sure as it conflicts with https://freenode.live/ in Bristol that I wanted to attend too. |
Thanks @wetneb - would love to get some feedback from WikiProject Open Access! Is Project Chat the right place for that? |
We generally talk on this talk page: |
For anyone interested in working on this in-person at OpenCon, please check in with me there :) |
A relevant piece shared today on Scholarly Kitchen, and authored by the TRANPOSE team, explaining some of the aims behind TRANSPOSE: https://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2018/11/01/guest-post-help-transpose-bring-journal-policies-into-the-open/ |

Naomi, I'm interested in helping with this effort here at OpenCon. I am in the Collaborarium - let's talk when you get a moment. |
We have people adding records to TRANSPOSE from table 13 -- thanks @dpixton and @Monsauce Come join us in-person or virtually! We're also thinking about preprints for biology, answering Qs about that and considering ways to increase awareness -- see #90 AND WE HAVE CHOCOLATE (sorry, virtual participants!) |
@dpixton has completed records for the Society for Petroleum Engineers (SPE) family of (5) journals 👏 Through the process, he has found:
Angela @zebraelement has added an issue to the transpose github suggesting contributing her data so far on journal policies on material sharing. She also wonders how/whether journals have/will change their policies as a result of this project -- perhaps an interesting thing to measure? THANKS FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS ❇️ |

Description
TRANSPOSE is a grassroots initiative to build a crowdsourced database of journal policies. We’re focusing on three areas: open peer review, co-reviewing, and detailed preprinting policies. We welcome contributions from anyone, but seek verification from journals and pubilshers. Our goal is to foster new practices while increasing awareness among authors, editors, and other stakeholders, and we seek to provide resources to assist journals in setting, sharing, and clarifying their policies.
What are we working on during the do-a-thon? What kinds of support do we need?
We'd love people to:
How can others contribute?
