Publishing
MNI Open Research is a platform for rapid publication and open peer review of research conducted by Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital researchers.
Supported by the Tanenbaum Open Science Institute
-
Enables researchers to publish any research they wish to share, supporting reproducibility, transparency and impact
-
Uses an open research publishing model: publication within days of submission, followed by open invited peer review
-
Includes citations to all supporting data, enabling reanalyses, replication and reuse
Benefits for Researchers
- All types of research can be published within days of submission: traditional narratives, data sets, software tools, null results, protocols, case reports and more.
- Enables authors, not editors, to decide what they wish to publish.
- Authors can suggest peer reviewers most appropriate to their subject and whose opinions they value.
Benefits for Research
- Aims to shift the way research and researchers are evaluated.
- Moves away from journal-based measures towards direct assessment of individual outputs.
- Supports research assessment based on the intrinsic value of the research, not the venue of publication.
Benefits for Society
- Reduces the barrier to collaborative research through data sharing, transparency and attribution.
- Reduces research waste and helps to remove the bias in our understanding of research.
- Enables others to build upon new ideas right away, wherever and whoever they are.
The mission of the MNI’s new Tanenbaum Open Science Institute is to develop and spread a new model of discovery and innovation based on the usage of Open Science principles as accelerators, for the benefits of patients and community, and for the development of best practices globally. MNI Open Research is designed to ensure that our community can quickly share their discoveries.
