What is this about?
Transpose (TRANsparency in Scholarly Publishing for Open Scholarship Evolution) is an initiative to build a database of journal policies, focussing on open peer review, co-reviewing and detailed preprinting policies. The goal of this initiative is to foster new practices while increasing awareness among authors, editors, and other stakeholders, while providing resources to assist journals in setting, sharing, and clarifying their policies.
Why is this important?
This initiative contributes to the fostering of open science from a perspective of journals, from a relatively new viewpoint. The initiative contributes to more transparency of editorial policies and support editors with suggestions on potential editorial improvements.
