Opening Scholarly Communication in Social Sciences: Supporting Open Peer Review with Fidus Writer (1601.02927v1)

Abstract: Our system will initially provide readers, authors and reviewers with an alternative, thus having the potential to gain wider acceptance and gradually replace the old, incoherent publication process of our journals and of others in related fields. It will make journals more "open" (in terms of reusability) that are open access already, and it has the potential to serve as an incentive for turning "closed" journals into open access ones. In this poster paper we will present the framework of the OSCOSS system and highlight the reviewer use case.
