Neuroscience Peer Review Consortium announces increased journal participation

The INCF has implemented the Task Force’s recommendations by building and hosting the consortium’s website (http://nprc.incf.org) and providing administrative assistance and information to all journals and users. INCF director Jan Bjaalie was among the dozen or so participants in the Task Force.

"The INCF is excited about the increased participation of leading journals,” Bjaalie said. “The initiative enables a new type of collaboration in the field of scientific publishing, offering clear benefits to authors and journals. The INCF looks forward to entering a dialogue with the community about how to facilitate further progress in this area."
