Open Access Publishing call

Peer Community In Social and Behaviour Change (PCI)

The current academic publishing model is broken, with high publication fees and restricted access to knowledge. This system hinders the equitable dissemination of knowledge, limiting the impact of vital research, especially in fields as important as ours.

I am working to create a Peer Community In (PCI) (https://peercommunityin.org/) Social and Behavioural Change. PCI is a free, transparent platform that facilitates peer review and the publication of research without the traditional journal paywalls or publication fees. It’s a model designed to make research more accessible and inclusive. The PCI already includes 17 specialised communities, with more than 1,283 submissions and 4,088 peer reviews conducted to date.

To make it a reality I need the support of community members to submit papers, act as reviewers and Editors. If you are interested, let us know https://forms.gle/ZxLpoYnFs8ieDVxC9

I am pleased that we have been endorsed by the International Social Marketing Association and the European Social Marketing Association.  If you have any questions, please let me know,
