Civic Technologies Journal

Civic Technology Fellows,

I proposed to Adam, and he is joyful about it, that we start an academic
'Civic Technologies Journal (CTJ)' to promote our group among coherent
scholars, institutions, and expand its researches even further.

For that purpose we shall:
1. Understand Open Access Journal (which is itself one of the most
important and used civic techs we have worldwide):
https://publishingstate.com/how-to-start-an-open-access-journal/2023
& https://coalition-s.org/diamond-open-access
2. Those interested in becoming peer reviewers take a due certificate in
peer reviewing, like the Institute of Physics (IOP) 'Peer Review
Excellence' (which takes a few days of effort):
https://ioppublishing.org/researchers/peer-review-excellence-training-and-certification
3. Write our first issue call for papers and call for peer reviewers and
publish it among the civic tech international community, so please add more
institutions and scholar to our Civic Technologies Database (CTDb):
https://pad.riseup.net/p/w3c-civic-tech
4. We create a collective email for the group. I recommend
civictech@proton.me using the CERN Proton Mail:
https://proton.me/mail
5. We develop the journal at our friends of the MIT Future Lab's PubPub
open access journals platform due to their advanced laboratories network:
https://pubpub.org
6. We create a CERN Zenodo archive to have a proper Digital Object
Identification (DOI):
https://zenodo.org
7. If you find necessary we may also certificate for a physical hardcopy of
the journals International Standard Serial Number (ISSN):
https://issn.org

Since I am overwhelmed by United Nations (UN) humanitarian works in several
war zones while dangerously underpaid I cannot commit myself to help more
than 4h a week on these matters. Please do join us in this task force.
