The proposal aims to address the issue of the expensive and inaccessible research publishing industry by leveraging modern internet-based social technology to create an open reviewing and quality-ranking web portal. The portal will facilitate manuscript submission and an automated, free, community-based open access, peer review, and quality-rating system. The project will develop a proof of concept portal using ReactJS/NextJS and TailwindCSS for the frontend, Django for the backend, and PostgreSQL as the database server. The deliverables include a functional web portal that allows for detailed comments, ratings, and reputation-based filtering, which can improve the quality of research and provide a platform for communities of reviewers to form and manage the reviewing process. The system will eventually be tested with the Aperture Neuro open access publishing platform of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping (OHBM), in consultation with that community.
