Sorry @brembs, but Open Research Europe is a recipe for disaster. It's centered around the idea of big publishing, i,e., there is one huge contract awarded to a big player who runs the entire platform. Currently, it's Taylor & Francis, but if that changes to one of the other big ones, it will hardly make a difference.
There is zero transparency on who the editors are and how they are being chosen. And editors have much much greater power compared to normal journals because by selecting suitable reviewers they can permanently prevent proper publication of an article by not obtaining approval status. In contrast to normal publishers, you are forbidden to take your rejected article elsewhere.
If I were to build a system designed for easy outside influence on the scientific record, it would look a lot like that.
Exactly the opposite of what we need these days.
I'm much more in favor of publishing with journals run by respectable scientific societies (like the APS journals we have in #physics).
