Evaluation services by the community

Reimagining Scholarly Publishing

Lifecycle Journal aims to put publishing and evaluation in the control of the scholarly community itself. As a 3-year research and development project initiated by the Center for Open Science (COS), the ultimate goal is to transform the vision and value of a journal as an effective facilitator of knowledge production and self-correction while aligning the rewards of publishing with transparency and rigor. It commits to transparency in innovation, evaluation, and continuous improvement through research in order to raise the quality and trustworthiness of the research, reduce bias and increase overall accountability.

Supporting Researchers

The Lifecycle Journal model aims to enable researchers to:

  • Share all aspects of their research
  • Publish outputs in all stages of their research lifecycle
  • Receive feedback from community-led evaluation services
  • Update their research with revisions, progress, and new outputs
  • Engage the community on the meaning, impact, and next steps of their work
  • Be rewarded based on diverse, meaningful assessments of their research quality

A Transparent and Rigorous Review Process

Lifecycle Journal’s submission and review process ensures thorough evaluation while maintaining flexibility. Authors can share and receive feedback on multiple components—like data, code, and study plans—within defined submission stages. This approach promotes both rigor and adaptability, reinforcing the journal’s commitment to transparent, credible research.
