Publishing the research process

Research Ideas and Outcomes (or RIO for short) is a new journal designed to communicate the nature of research as a process to engage with. RIO covers all areas of scholarly inquiry and links research ideas to their implementation through multiple steps that can be highlighted and scrutinized individually and transparently. Built on top of a collaborative online platform that handles every step from authoring through review and dissemination, RIO provides researchers with a rich set of publishing services to choose from, at competitive yet sustainable speed and pricing. It maps research activities to the societal challenges they help to address, and it facilitates the reuse of its materials in educational contexts through open licensing.
