Application for funding for the establishment of an OJS1 publication platform to operate the online open access journal Colour Turn

颜色现象对基础研究和应用研究的主角都提出了巨大的挑战。一方面，没有跨学科的合作，先进的色彩研究是没有意义的。另一方面，国际上有许多不同的行为者和做法，很难获得具有代表性的见解。尽管有大量的研究工作和发现，但仍有许多研究空白和悬而未决的问题;从大脑中的颜色感知和信号处理开始，并扩展到文化背景和个人颜色偏好。Colour Turn是一份开放获取期刊，成立于2019年8月，开辟了在编辑处理的出版平台上解决新研究主题和方法的可能性。Colour Turn正在结束一年半的概念和测试阶段。我们正在申请从2020年10月开始的为期两年的试点阶段的资金，旨在系统地开发和扩展该期刊，并将其建立在颜色研究领域。这包括优化编辑过程和采用新软件。计划在资助阶段完成以下任务：-将该期刊建立为跨学科颜色研究的开放获取格式-根据良好科学实践的规则进一步制定标准化，透明的投稿评估程序-通过英文文章结合多语种摘要和关键词列表的国际知名度-简化年轻研究人员获得科学出版物的机会-促进科学传播-所有感兴趣的读者免费获得研究成果

The phenomenon of colour poses enormous challenges for both the protagonists of basic research and those of application-oriented research. On the one hand, advanced colour research is not meaningful without interdisciplinary cooperation. On the other hand, there are so many different actors and approaches internationally that it becomes difficult to gain a representative insight. Despite a lot of research efforts and findings, there are many research gaps and open questions; starting with colour perception and signal processing in the brain, and extending to cultural contexts and individual colour preferences. Colour Turn, an open access journal founded in August of 2019, opens up the possibility to address new research topics and approaches on an editorially processed publication platform.Colour Turn is at the end of a one-and-a-half-year conception and testing phase. We are applying for funding of a two-year piloting phase, starting in October 2020, which is intended to systematically develop and expand the journal and establish it in the colour research landscape. This includes the optimization of editorial processes and the implementation of new software. The following tasks are planned to be completed during the funding phase:- Establishment of the journal as an open access format for interdisciplinary colour research- Further development of the standardised, transparent evaluation procedure for contributions according to the rules of good scientific practice- International visibility through articles in English in combination with multilingual abstracts and keyword lists- Simplified access to scientific publication opportunities for young researchers- Promotion of science communication- Free access to research results for all interested readers
