Articles are published rapidly as soon as they are accepted, after passing a series of prepublication checks to assess originality, readability, author eligibility, and compliance with Gates Open Research’s policies and ethical guidelines. Peer review by invited experts, suggested by the authors, takes place openly after publication. An article remains published regardless of the reviewers’ reports. Articles that pass peer review are indexed in Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar and other bibliographic databases .
Authors are encouraged to respond openly to the peer review reports, which are published with the article, and can publish revised versions of their article, if they wish. Read more about Gates Open Research’s peer review model.
