Lifecycle Journal offers a new way to share and evaluate research: open, accountable, and designed to support rigorous work across the full research lifecycle. Dr. Keith’s experience highlights how diverse evaluations and a transparent publishing process can advance scientific progress.

The evaluations were timely, thorough, and public... I have been encouraging colleagues to submit work to [Lifecycle Journal and will continue doing so. This initiative can benefit our field substantially.

Our goals should be to build a scientific psychology that is on a trustworthy foundation. Scientists should be rewarded for conducting rigorous research, regardless of the outcomes of studies, and all aspects of the work should be available to other scientists who can build on the work.
