Research Ideas and Outcomes

Aims & Scope

Research Ideas and Outcomes (RIO) is a pioneering journal that aims to revolutionize the way research is communicated by publishing ideas, proposals, and outcomes of the research cycle in a comprehensive and timely manner. Our mission is to increase transparency, trustworthiness, and efficiency in the research ecosystem.

Our key objectives are to:

Maximize Value

RIO strives to retain and increase the value of the effort spent on writing and evaluating research proposals and other valuable products throughout the research cycle. We harness the full value of investment in the academic system by registering, reviewing, publishing, and permanently archiving a wide variety of research outputs that aren't traditionally made public.

Enhance Speed and Efficiency

By making these outputs public, we expedite the process of evaluating proposed and performed research, opening up new mechanisms for collaboration, feedback, appraisal, dissemination, and funding. RIO aims to turn around a manuscript to peer-reviewed publication in the shortest possible time.

Foster Real-World Impact

RIO creates and strengthens links within and across disciplines by placing special emphasis on how research addresses the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and other challenges that our global society is facing.

Ensure Transparency and Trust

We are committed to an entirely open and public peer-review process, convinced that this is the best way to build trust in the reviewed outcomes. RIO offers tailored services and benefits to all types of users, including authors, readers, reviewers, funders, project coordinators, and conference organizers.

Abstracting & Indexing
