hi @scipost, I saw the call for funding and started asking around at out library
Meanwhile, scipost_202505_00027v1 is now 10 days ago submitted to @chemistry but there is no editor assigned yet. whom can I ask to have a look at it?
@egonw @chemistry Dear Egon, we just updated our Chemistry family of journals last week, and were just about to contact you to suggest shifting your submission from SciPost Chemistry to a perhaps more appropriate venue, in view of your content: SciPost Chemistry Community Reports.
If that's OK then things can get going!
@scipost @chemistry ah, let me check!
@egonw @chemistry To help further orient your thinking, you can also look at the Physics family which has a longer history.
We would now like to make our "move" into Chemistry, as we have long dreamed of doing. Expect news on this next week.
@scipost @chemistry okay, I will discuss this. also for Physics, I do not fully understand the fragmentation, and calling one the flag ship, and the others seemingly second tier
The content type distinguishes most journals: lecture notes, codebases, reviews have their own titles.
Community Reports are for things different from the usual "new research results": e.g. benchmarks, recommendations, policy-making documents (we created the Physics one at the request of CERN).
The "normal" new research results go in either the field's flagship, or Core. The flagship has harder expectations and criteria, and higher number of required reports.
@scipost @chemistry exactly the reason why I am not jumping with joy and have serious doubts
