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.

Implication

This preprint proposes new recognition for researchers' shared outputs, enhancing journal compensation methods.

Abstract

In this preprint the authors propose a shift in what counts in the biomedical sciences: researchers should be recognized for what they choose to share on their own terms and timeline (for example as preprints), not what journals select. And journals should be compensated for the execution of services, not for exclusive publication.
