As part of the DFG-funded SOCIOS project, the University and City Library Cologne is developing a digital publication platform for collaborative writing and open peer review in the social sciences.

The platform uses the potential of open science to achieve faster and more flexible publication results in social science discourse in a fair, sustainable and quality-assured manner. SOCIOS thus stands for open scientific communication in the social sciences: open pre-review manuscripts, open participation, open identities, open interaction, open reviews and comments.

The service of the UCL is realised in cooperation with four social science information services (FID) - FID Sociology (SocioHub), FID Political Science (Pollux), FID Social and Cultural Anthropology (EVIFA) and FID Criminology
