“The new open access biomedical journal announced last month by a trio of research charities now has an editor-in-chief. He is cell biologist Randy Schekman, an HHMI investigator at the University of California, Berkeley, who now edits the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.”
Good questions in this interview, revealing more about the new pub. The most interesting tid-bit to me is this pub has 3 years of operating money to build the publication before they need to decide on a biz model. Hopefully, by then, they’ll find some interested way to fund the pub or realize that PLoS still has the best model (charging authors).
