The Roadmap for Future of Science Network
Temporary design for the general interface : Rebuilding the front-end to center on open review journals and archives, removing legacy features like “communities” and “collections.”
Pilot Journal : Launch first Open Review Journal to test full publication workflow.
Open Review Journals : Deploy academic-led peer-reviewed journals using transparent open review and multimedia integration.
Open Review Archives : Enable open-access repository for preprints with optional public peer reviews.
Open Review Podcasts : Enable open-access repository for podcasts with optional public peer reviews.
Translations : Publications can now appear in several languages.
Pdf Format : Design a PDF style for FOSN papers.
Documentation : You're reading it right now !
Automatic formatting of contribution uploads : Use AI to identify structure, apply semantic tags, and flag missing or inconsistent sections. Apply to upload 100 articles from the former EEP database to the current FOSN website.
Automatic transcriptions of conferences : Use AI to propose automated transcriptions of conferences published on FOSN
Text Editor : A native text editor on the FOSN platform.
CRISP Integration : Integrate CRISP so that users can chat with webmasters.
Automated PDFs : Automated process to turn html files of FOSN papers into journal-type PDFs.
DOI and Integration of Zenodo API : Integrate automatic DOI registration for all articles, reviews, and datasets to ensure traceability throught Zenodo API.
Indexation : A process to help FOSN initiatives get indexed into major databases
Beta release : Once the interface and backend structure are stable, a limited beta will be launched.
Author pages : Create researcher profiles linking publications, reviews, affiliations, and dynamic bibliographies.
AI Assisted Reviewing : Implement AI tools to summarize reviews, suggest reviewers, and check coherence and citation quality.
Autonomous AI Journals : Develop experimental AI-managed journals capable of generating, reviewing, and publishing under supervision.
Visual overhaul : Redesign of all user-facing interfaces for clarity, speed, and coherence across platforms, improving typography, navigation flow, colour hierarchy, and layout consistency to meet modern UX standards and support multilingual displays.
Public Release : Final deployment of the platform to the global academic community, supported by onboarding materials, outreach campaigns, and institutional announcements, marking the transition from testing to sustained, long-term production use.
Thesis Center : A version of the FOSN text editor for students.
