November 8, 2017 – Philadelphia, PA – American OpenScience (AOS), operated by ResearchSwift LLC, announced that it has entered a partnership with Editage, the flagship brand of Cactus Communications. AOS will offer pre-submission manuscript preparation and language editing services, powered by Editage, to authors at a discounted price through their website. The publishing policies of AOS aim to promote open science in research publishing that includes open access, open data, open methodology, and open peer review. The open science movement has gained tremendous momentum in the past few years and many open access publishers are adopting open transparent peer reviews. AOS believes that every finding from a careful research study is important to be published, including, null findings and scientifically justified replications that not only contribute to a cumulative knowledge base, but also save other researchers’ time, effort, and resources.
Javid Mohammed, Co-founder, AOS, was very excited about the new partnership and integration, “It was an easy choice for us to select Editage as a partner. In addition to their massive pool of experts and high-quality services, Editage is a big proponent of open access, open data, and transparent peer review. A dedicated technology team at Editage also helped us integrate their services directly through the AOS website.”
Donald Samulack, President U.S. Operations, Editage, also expressed his enthusiasm about the launch of a partnership with a new publishing platform, “We are very pleased to support the AOS author community. Although AOS has been established only recently, their philosophy resonates with us. Their publishing model is free of biases and much faster owing to the post-publication open peer review. This makes it even more important for the published work to have the highest language quality.”
AOS will publish articles immediately after a quick review by in-house editors, followed by transparent peer review by independent author-invited referees. Authors can use language editing services, offered by Editage, to ensure that the language used in the manuscripts submitted to AOS is suitable for publication.
