Research Ideas and Outcomes (RIO) aims to catalyze change in research communication. It publishes research all along the research lifecycle, from ideas and proposals to all their outcomes. RIO covers all areas of scholarly research, from arts to sciences, humanities to social sciences, engineering to medicine, and everything in between. To ensure quality, RIO supports both pre-and post-publication peer review and makes all reviews public and individually citable. To minimize delays in the publication process, RIO uses an entirely XML-based workflow coupled with a collaborative editing platform through which authors can draft and submit their content. To maximize societal impact, RIO's content is mapped not only to scholarly disciplines but also to societal challenges like those targeted by the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. All content in RIO is openly licensed, and authors can choose the publishing services they actually need, at very competitive prices. Find out more via http://riojournal.com/ .
