In response to calls for open science (Center for Open Science, 2018; cOAlition S, 2018), and transparent editorial policies in particular (ASAPbio, 2018; Squazzoni et al., 2020), we the authors and colleagues from the Centre for Science for Science and Technology Studies in Leiden recently launched the Platform for Responsible Editorial Policies (PREP via www.responsiblejournals. org).
