Models ( https://sites.google.com/site/workshoponpeerreviewing )

________________________________
Overview:

Across a wide range of scientific communities, peer reviewing and
publishing models are undergoing significant changes. These changes have
been motivated by the coupled objectives of improving the quality of the
reviewing process, reducing the workload on reviewers and ultimately
promoting the rapid dissemination of knowledge.

The goal of this workshop is to provide a venue to bring together
researchers from within our community as well as from other scientific
disciplines who share a common interest in improving peer reviewing and
publishing models. We wish to use this venue to share ideas and
experiences, both positive and negative, of open reviewing, open access
publishing models and the tools that support them.
