How will the NPRC affect authors?

By reducing the number of times a manuscript is reviewed, the consortium aims to speed publication of research results.

If a manuscript is not accepted by one journal in the Consortium, the authors can submit their manuscript to a second Consortium journal and have the reviews from the first journal forwarded to the second journal. See also the list of all Consortium journals.

It is the authors’ choice whether or not to request that a set of reviews be forwarded.
