Journal of World Philosophies partners with DeSci Publish
New community to serve as experimental space on philosophy works
Open science and preprint network DeSci Labs has partnered with the editors of Journal of World Philosophies to develop a new community –Worlds of Philosophy Autonomous Research Community (ARC) – on DeSci Publish. The community will be used as a meeting ground for established academics to work alongside junior scholars to create and explore new and different aspects of the subject.
Worlds of Philosophy ARC will feature innovative, novel contributions to the subject area and will serve as a space for experimental work and different ways of studying world philosophies. The new ARC aims to create a more sustainable, inclusive platform that promotes the work of upcoming scholars regardless of their level of expertise.
The ARC will be a related entity to the Journal of World Philosophies, a semi-annual, peer-reviewed international journal dedicated to the study of world philosophies, initiated in 2014. It seeks to explore common spaces and differences between philosophical traditions in a global context. The new ARC will create space for non-traditional work, including photo essays which are not encouraged by traditional academic journals.
“We hope to create a space of citational justice for junior scholars, especially graduate students, through this platform,” Prof. Monika Kirloskar-Steinbach, initiator and chief editor of Journal of World Philosophies. “In this emerging field, their innovative work and creativity risks not being sufficiently acknowledged or even pilfered. This is why it is important that their research receives DOIs right from the beginning.
“The journal is now ten years old, and this is a good way to begin its eleventh year. I look forward to beginning this new chapter in the journal’s life in partnership with DeSci Labs.”
The journal is one of ten communities and journals that have committed to using DeSci Publish, which allows data, manuscript and code to be uploaded in one place to make open science practices easier than ever. Communities on DeSci Publish can share, review and curate different types of scientific contributions - traditional manuscripts, but also data, code, images, letters, or even art. Each community defines itself, what it reviews, and how it does it.
“DeSci Publish allows users to find all relevant research artefacts related to a research project, including papers, data and code, in one convenient location, making it easier to understand all aspects of a research project. It also supports transparency, proper accreditation of the different components contributing to publications, and providing opportunity for increased creativity in the interaction between research and the digital world,” added Prof. Philipp Koellinger, CEO and co-founder of DeSci Labs. “We are looking forward to welcoming more academic communities to our innovative pre-print network, promote best open science practices, and experiment with new ways to share and evaluate research that DeSci Publish enables.”
DeSci Publish is an AI-supported open-source preprint network where research is published, reviewed and curated without paywalls and publication charges. Leveraging web3 technology, it is the first integrated preprint publication that can support any digital file type and versionability.
