Overlay Journal

An overlay journal is an innovative type of scholarly publication that operates on top of pre-existing data repositories and preprint servers. Unlike traditional journals, overlay journals do not host content themselves. Instead, they select, peer review and formally publish links to content that is already hosted on other platforms, such as HAL or arXiv, or institutional repositories. Articles, or any type of content that has been selected for publication, receives a proper citation and a digital object identifier (DOI), ​​making it possible for readers to reference and link to these documents reliably.
