• Fast: Immediate publication means new findings can be shared without any delay.
• Value: The costs of publishing are covered by the HRB. • Compliant: Fulfils HRB’s mandatory Open Access Policy. • Inclusive: Supports publication of a wide range of outputs – from
standard research papers to data sets, from new insights and findings whether confirmatory or negative.
• Transparent: Peer reviewer reports are published alongside the research, supporting recognition of reviewers as well as improving transparency.
• Reproducible: The inclusion of supporting data facilitates reanalysis, replication and reuse and thus improves reproducibility of research.
• Impact-focused: The use of research indicators that allow authors and users to gauge the interest, reach, access and use of their research outputs.
