There is a new sort of publication model in Global Health, and I just gave it a try (editor’s note: just = in the last year). Gates Open Research offers “author-led publication and open peer review”, and is available now to Gates Foundation-funded researchers.
I used it to publish a Data Note, which is a dataset together with a short description of what is in the dataset.
