Is PRC Publishing Actually Better? Overview of the model and an honest assessment

You may have heard the words; Publish, Review, Curate when it comes to open science initiatives. But what is this model and is it actually any good? This video addresses that question and - to our knowledge - is currently the most objective overview of the PRC model that does not shy away from both the potential positives and the reality. We overview the model, comparing it to the traditional workflow from manuscript submission to peer review and final publication. We discuss the benefits and the concerns with the PRC model, taking a realistic look at the realities of this model within academia.
