Publishing the research process

Abstract

Research Ideas and Outcomes (or RIO for short) is a new journal designed to communicate the nature of research as a process to engage with.RIO covers all areas of scholarly inquiry and links research ideas to their implementation through multiple steps that can be highlighted and scrutinized individually and transparently.Built on top of a collaborative online platform that handles every step from authoring through review and dissemination, RIO provides researchers with a rich set of publishing services to choose from, at competitive yet sustainable speed and pricing.It maps research activities to the societal challenges they help to address, and it facilitates the reuse of its materials in educational contexts through open licensing. Reinventing the research journalWe are conscious that journals are just one way to organize scholarly publications and that the entire scholarly literature -formally spread across tens of thousands of journals -could be considered as just one journal (Gordon and Poulin 2008) if it weren't for paywalls, reuse restrictions and a still significant body of research not available online.We also agree that the era of journals as we have known them for decades and centuries -e.g. as slow, expensive, static, limited in space and scope -is coming to an end (Krumholz 2015).
