This is my field. The editors and steering committee members are very respectable and have set a new standard for transparency in founding a journal. If you select "Top posts"/"all time" on the subreddit, you can see them do their best to gather feedback from the (very fractured) community. "Code of conduct for Quantum?" "Should Quantum accept all correct papers or judge for quality?" "Terms and conditions of Quantum. Feedback appreciated!" "Should open data be a requirement for publication in Quantum?" https://www.reddit.com/r/quantumjournal/top/?sort=top&t=all https://www.reddit.com/r/quantumjournal/top/?sort=top&t=all The second one, in particular, is worth reading through. https://www.reddit.com/r/quantumjournal/comments/50lucs/should_quantum_accept_all_correct_papers_or_judge/ https://www.reddit.com/r/quantumjournal/comments/50lucs/shou... The publication fee ($215) is optional and far-and-away the lowest among open-access quantum info journals (all others > $1k). http://imgur.com/a/Mf86p http://imgur.com/a/Mf86p https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10100919693768184&set=p.10100919693768184&type=3&theater https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10100919693768184&se... ArXiv overlay journals are a very promising idea, but they have been slow to develop. Watching all the work that went into launching Quantum gave me a new appreciation for how hard this is. Time will tell whether it succeeds as a journal and, more importantly, actually has an impact on the journal ecosystem. But it's definitely a valiant attempt.
