Scholarly Research Exchange: a new open access journal employing a transparent peer review system

Press Release
February 21, 2008

Hindawi Publishing Corporation is pleased to announce the launch of Scholarly Research Exchange, a peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes original research articles in all areas of science, technology, and medicine. Scholarly Research Exchange will bring a number of important innovations to scholarly journal publishing, including a transparent peer review system in which authors and reviewers interact directly throughout the peer review process.

Authors submitting to Scholarly Research Exchange will suggest potential reviewers who will have to be approved by the journal's Editorial Office. Reviewers will be asked to provide an assessment of the quality of the manuscript, a written critique addressed to the authors, and a written commentary addressed to the journal's readers. Once an article is accepted for publication, the reviewers' commentaries and their assessment of the manuscript's quality are published alongside the final version of the article. In addition to these reviewers' evaluations, members of the scientific community will also be able to participate in a discussion around every manuscript.

"Scholarly Research Exchange goes well beyond the current journal model and brings a number of new ideas to the scholarly publishing industry," said Ahmed Hindawi, the company's CEO. "It provides a truly different experience to authors and reviewers, and since it is highly scalable by its very nature, it has the potential to make a significant impact across all areas of STM publishing."

Scholarly Research Exchange is hosted on a custom built online platform, which is located at http://www.syrexe.com/, facilitating the journal's interactive editorial system. The journal is published with the support of an international Advisory Board, and a detailed description of the journal and its editorial model can be found on the journal web site.
