Realigning incentives for biomedical researchers and journals through researcher-shared outputs

Key Points

• To propose a new recognition system for biomedical researchers based on their chosen outputs rather than journal selection.
• Propose a shift in evaluation criteria for researchers in biomedical sciences.
• Advocate for compensating journals based on services rather than exclusive publication rights.
• Suggest that researchers' choice to share outputs like preprints should be valued.
• Indicate that journals can be funded for their role in disseminating research, enhancing service quality.
