Quality Insurance Service
Peer Review Information Service for Monographs (PRISM)
Increasing trust in Open Access book publishing by improving transparency around the quality assurance process (peer review procedure).
PRISM gives publishers the opportunity to display information about their peer review procedures in a standardized way, enables inclusion of information as part of the book’s metadata and builds trust in OA book publishing by improving transparency around the quality assurance process. PRISM collects the variety of peer reviewing practices from hundreds of monograph publishing houses, categorizes them, and provides a single access point to the list of certified peer reviewed monographs available in Open Access in the world.
