Current processes of scientific communication limit researchers’ ability to share findings with the general public and other researchers, slowing the progress of science. This project addresses the issues by removing financial barriers to participation for authors and readers; building community-based, post-publication review processes; and developing open, values-enacted research assessment metrics. Seven community testbeds are implementing a Publish-Review-Curate-Assess workflow; documenting the work with these communities establishes reproducible models that bring scientific communication i
