I spend a lot of my time arguing that many of the problems in the research community are caused by journals. We have too many, they are an ineffective means of communicating the important bits of research, and as a filter they are inefficient and misleading. Today I am very happy to be publicly launching the call for papers for a new journal. How do I reconcile these two statements?

So, are you going to answer your own question? Or was it just a textual ornament?

In the way it conducts peer review, manages papers, and makes them available Open Research Computation will be a very ordinary journal.

Well, then it inevitably will be as f uped as any other journal. Congratulations on selling out.
