The contract seeks a contractor to deliver strategic, operational, and advisory services to build and launch this journal within one year, with a focus on establishing a world-class editorial board, designing an open and innovative peer-review framework, creating specialized publishing tools for reproducibility research, and executing a comprehensive marketing and outreach strategy.
