Charting Progress: A Year in Review and the Road Ahead for Aperture Neuro

Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre 

The scientific publishing industry is undergoing a significant transformation, propelled by rising demands for equity and transparency. Researchers are questioning longstanding practices of for-profit commercial publishers, which often conflict with the values of the scientific community and contribute to publication biases, reviewer fatigue, delayed peer review timelines, and the reproducibility crisis.

Aperture Neuro aims to contribute to a positive transformation in the publishing landscape by offering an open access publishing model with low APC fees, supporting innovative research objects (e.g. code, videos, notebooks, etc.), encouraging submissions of traditionally undervalued formats (e.g., negative findings, tutorials, dataset descriptions), and maintaining an efficient peer review process.

1) Obtain information about journal metrics and insight into what makes Aperture Neuro unique.
2) Learn about ongoing and future initiatives.
 

As a society journal, the target audience is the OHBM community. We would like the OHBM membership to consider the value of submitting their work to Aperture Neuro and to help it grow.
