That’s their model indeed; hence the β€œbuilding upon” in my question. πŸ™‚

For example, if the eLife editorial layer is removed, does peer review remain sustainable?

What are your thoughts on building upon eLife's reviewed preprint model, which fits many of the boundary conditions that you have stated?

Technology shouts for itself; science is more abstract and subtle. We cannot assume that the value of science is self-evident to the public.

In "How Science Speaks", we will hear how scientists and science writers communicate complex ideas about the history and practice of science to non-experts.

A paper that adds a crucial piece to our understanding of how biological joints came to be.

@Predrag: I fear for our colleagues in the humanities, perhaps a tad more than for those in the sciences. Art History seems to have faced headwinds even before the current state of affairs.

History department honors first women hired The centerpiece is a wall-size homage to three of the first women hired and McGraw itself, drawn by Prof. Paraska Tolan-Szkilnik.

It took more than a century to hire the first woman professor in Cornell history department?
