Comitaria is an independent academic publisher, currently in formation. We are building it on a straightforward principle: the editors who run a journal, the reviewers who scrutinise the work, and the authors who produce it should share in what it earns. Our first titles are in preparation.
Our reviewers will be experts who take time to thoroughly read and evaluate an article, and submit reports substantial enough to be worth the author's time. Quality peer review is rewarded.
All articles are published open access under a Creative Commons licence, and authors retain copyright. Journals are funded via article processing charges.
When a journal earns a surplus, a defined share goes to a pool divided among its editors, reviewers and authors under written rules with publicly available data for each journal.
We are appointing an editor-in-chief for each of our five journals. We are looking for researchers with a faculty appointment, a sustained publication record in the journal's field, experience as a reviewer or editor, and a belief that the academic publishing model should give more back to its contributors. We do not set a number of required or expected hours for the role, as this may vary based on submissions to the journal. Shortlisted candidates meet the founder by video. We are also approaching candidates directly.
