eLife期刊,是生命科学和生物医学领域非常权威的期刊,eLife接受生命科学和生物医学所有领域的投稿,并以其高标准和开放获取政策而闻名。该期刊在2023131日起,所有经过同行评审的文章不再作 “接受 / 拒绝” 决定,而是直接发布为 “已评审预印本”,附有评估和公众评论,作者决定后续行动。20241024日,被wos标记为“On Hold”。

 

eLife也很快在官网上正面回应了此事:

eLife在文中坐实了on hold的原因,竟是因为elife“不拒稿”的出版模式:Web of Science的这一决定扼杀了展示如何利用开放科学原则改进出版和同行评议的尝试,反而给人一种持续支持已建立和无效的出版模式的感觉,这些模式已经需要改变太久了。(对应原文:This decision from Web of Science stifles attempts to show how publishing and peer review can be improved using open science principles, and instead gives the appearance of ongoing support for established and ineffective publishing models that have needed to change for so long.

 

eLife在文中也明确否定了影响因子:作为《研究评估宣言》的长期签署者,我们从未支持过影响因子,也从未想要过。仅凭发表本身不足以作为衡量有效性的信号和指标。期刊名称或其影响因子几乎不能说明任何一篇研究文章的质量。相反我们创建了一个模型,可以审查、评估和直接参与研究,而无需代用指标。(对应原文:As a long-term signatory of the Declaration on Research Assessment we have never supported the Impact Factor and never wanted one. Publication alone is a poor signal and measure of validity. A journal name or its Impact Factor says little about the quality of any individual research article. Instead we created a model that reviews, assesses and directly engages with research without the need for proxies.
