The eLife Model for research publishing: How does it work?

eLife is driving a change in scientific publishing.
Our approach brings together the immediacy and openness of preprints with the expert evaluation of peer review.

But how does the eLife publishing model work? What does it mean for you as an author? And what can you expect if you publish your research with us?

We take you through every step of our process from how to submit your research, through peer review, your eLife Assessment and your Reviewed Preprint, to revising your work and declaring a Version of Record.

We’re changing the way research is communicated. Be part of the change you want to see. Change the way you share your research.
