16th October 2018 – EDP Sciences is pleased to announce that Anne Ruimy has joined the editorial team as Publishing Editor, overseeing EDPS’ journal publishing portfolio in mathematics and computer science.
Anne brings her extensive experience in the publishing industry, including several years of copyediting for French researchers and as Journal Manager at Elsevier, where she was responsible for overseeing the editorial process and production for a wide variety of scientific, technical and medical journals. In her previous publishing roles she has worked on numerous projects across the research publication cycle - working to scale up and streamline workflows. Anne has also self-published her own environmental magazine.
Agnés Henri, Managing Director, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Anne to our team. Anne’s experience in project and journal management will benefit EDP Sciences enormously as the company increases engagement with early career researchers across the globe, encouraging them to publish, and supporting them throughout the process.”
Anne Ruimy added, “I’m looking forward to contributing to the international development of the EDP Sciences journal programme internationally. The company’s strong presence across the spectrum of the sciences, as well as its strong connections in Europe and China makes it an exciting and vibrant organisation to be part of. On a personal level, I’m enjoying being back in the area where I did my PhD thesis in ecology at Paris-Sud University, over 20 years ago.”

4open is pleased to support the initiative outlined in ASAPbio’s open letter to help improve transparency within peer review. Open peer review is one of the four key pillars upon which 4open is built, as the Journal believes it encourages a more holistic view of a published piece of work, allowing for more thorough critical evaluation.
In February 2018, members of the scholarly publishing community assembled to discuss upcoming advances regarding peer review techniques at The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Headquarters. This meeting resulted in the agreement that publishing peer review reports will improve the transparency of the publishing process.
Read a summary of the event here.
4open will implement this change in peer review policy early in 2019, enabling authors and peer reviewers to opt in or out of open peer review reports.

4open continues its publication of multi- and inter-disciplinary science with its first article in biology. The article – “Visual gene network analysis of aging-specific gene co-expression in human indicates overlaps with immuno-pathological regulations” by Bibhu Parida et al, is free to access on the 4open website
This article examines the complex process of aging to identify a set of candidate genes that are involved in organism aging processes, using a microarray meta-analysis approach.
4open is published by EDP Sciences under the auspices of the Société Française de Physique, and in partnership with Theodor-Billroth-Academy® & Int'l Consortium of Research Excellence of the TBA®.
The Journal welcomes submissions in the fields of natural sciences, medicine and technology, including material sciences and engineering.
