...courtesy of philosophers Filippo Contesi and Giulio Pietroiusti (both Barcelona); they write:
In some academic disciplines, publication and discussion of articles
before journal submission is generally much more widespread than in philosophy. Indeed, most journal publishing houses are publicly
committed to considering pre-archived papers for publication. You can double-check this for your journal of choice here:
https://v2.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/
Philosophers already can make their pre-prints publicly available at
any point on at least one pre-print repository: PhilArchive.org.
However, currently existing web platforms for public discussion of
scientific pre-prints (e.g. PubPeer.org) cannot be used to discuss PhilArchive-d papers.
So, we have created a website that allows anyone to comment freely on
papers present on PhilArchive and/or PhilPapers:
https://freelosophy.github.io/
On Freelosophy, scholars can add comments to a paper (and read them) by using its PhilPapers/Archive ID, an identifier present on the page
of each paper on PhilArchive. Each paper on PhilPapers also has its
own PhilPaper/Archive ID (in the URL).
Everyone interested is most welcome to start using our service, which
is currently in public beta. Please do not hesitate to contact us at
[email protected] for any comments or feedback.
Professor Contesi tells me they will moderate the discussion forum to make sure it does not degenerate into a metablog!
