The workflow for TheoretiCS is designed for both a quick first-stage turnaround, and a visibility of papers under review for the full editorial board (except for those who editorial board members who have a COI). This is designed so that papers do not languish with a single editorial board member and to ensure consistent quality control.<br /><br />Both OJS and episciences.org were considered and there were advocates for both. While each had advantages, episciences.org were much more ready to commit to supporting the desired editorial workflow and COI options. They have already made software updates in this direction. Some also were not convinced by the sense that one had to choose/rely on a single sponsoring university by OJS, though other liked how other OJS journals worked. In principle, had OJS been able to commit to supporting the desired editorial workflow the decision could have gone the other way.Paul Beamehttps://www.cs.washington.edu/people/faculty/beame/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3722233.post-32684100464446193982021-12-01T12:21:56.100-06:002021-12-01T12:21:56.100-06:00I'm curious why you chose episciences.org inst...I'm curious why you chose episciences.org instead of using OJS.Alvin Anonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15268049341572923471noreply@blogger.com
