Plan P - Transform to Open Science

What people say about us

Gunther Eysenbach, MD MPH FACMI, Publisher at JMIR Publications and Plan P Architect

"Plan P is a collaborative network of partners including Preprint servers, Peer-Review Services, and progressive Plan P compatible journals, with the end-goal to re-engineer scholarly publishing to a sustainable, equitable and transparent Open Access ecosystem that advances Open Science. We work with visionary funders and institutions that advance our mission by supporting preprint servers and institutional/funder repositories, independent peer-review of preprints, and connecting these with journals or alternative curators of scientific output."

Johan Rooryck, Executive Director of Coalition S, the group of funders representing Plan S

“It’s an interesting model. I like the idea that in Plan P’s manuscript marketplace, a paper’s referee reports are made available to more than one publication—a process often dubbed ‘portable peer review’, that already exists at some journals and publishers to reduce duplication of efforts. A November 2021 study estimated that adopting portable peer review across all journals could save 28 million hours of peer-review time annually, in the United States alone."

Curtis Brundy, Scholarly Communications Librarian at Iowa State University (Plan P Institutional Member)

“We think this type of experimentation with publishing is very much needed right now and it's something that we support”

Elliott Lumb, Founder and CEO of PeerRef (Certified Plan P Peer-Review Service)

“We are deeply passionate about creating a better process for scientific review. The opportunity to work with Plan P is unmissable and we’re thrilled to provide expertise that can help drive this mission.”

Tim MacKey MAS, PhD, Editor-in-chief, JMIR Infodemiology (Plan P Compatible Journal)

As an editor, I am excited to use the Plan P preprint prospecting platform to invite the most important work in the field of Infodemiology for rapid publication.

Edward Meinert, MA (Oxon), MSc, MBA, MPA, PhD, CEng, FBCS, EUR ING, Editor-in-Chief, JMIRx-Med (Plan P Preprint Superjournal)

“JMIRx Med is the worlds' first superjournal, using Preprint servers and Plan P's editorial prospecting platform in lieu of a submission system. JMIRx Med’s acceptance for indexing in PubMed Central and PubMed is a validation of the scientific quality and innovativeness of our authors and their work. The emerging evidence disseminated by JMIRx Med fills a key gap in scientific communication and we look forward to further expanding our impact on medical science.”

Anita Bandrowski PhD, Founder and CEO of SciCrunch Inc.

We are united in the belief that institutions must start taking responsibility for the quality of research leaving their institutions. We at SciScore are excited about the potential to integrate the use of our AI based pre screening tools, and support the automated review of preprints, and broader Plan P transition to open and improved science.
