This year marks 50 years since it came to light that the nation’s leading public health agency, the Public Health Service, conceived an unethical “research study” - the Tuskegee Experiment – that lasted for 40 years.

Plan P is offering institutional, departmental, and individual memberships to academic institutions, departments, funders, and individual researchers that enable them to receive a rapid peer-review of a preprint from a Plan P partner journal or from an independent peer-review service like PeerRef. As multisided platform and matchmaker sitting between preprint servers, peer-review services, and journals, Plan P offers a true transformation to open access and open science, while supporting traditional journals and journal publication pathways. For publishers, Plan P is providing tools to supplement traditional manuscript submission workflows with an editorial prospecting platform.

On Liberty of 1859 is one of the most influential works in the history of philosophy. John Stuart Mill repeatedly declared it to be joint work with his wife. Yet, the philosophical canon still credits it to him alone. A computer-assisted study of researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) now reveals that with a high degree of certainty On Liberty was not solely written by him. Long passages were texted either by Harriet Taylor Mill or by both together. The researchers report in Utilitas. (DOI: 10.1017/S0953820821000339)
