Description
In France where Open Science is a governmental priority, they have built communities of researchers reviewing and recommending for free preprints in their fields in an open, independent, non-exclusive and reliable way, managed by researchers and for researchers called Peer Communities In (PCI). The researchers were empowered to regain control of scholarly publishing refocusing on articles and not the journals' quality. They have seen savings from not paying journal APCs, making results available right away, and transparency of the process. The French research institutions and universities support this process by their recognition of the pre-prints in PCI.
