SciPost is a non-profit foundation dedicated to developing, implementing and maintaining innovative forms of electronic scientific communication and publishing.

[3] Authors are encouraged to make use of preprint servers (for physics, the arXiv e-print archive) but can also submit directly.

The contents of the reports are made publicly visible (the referee can choose to remain anonymous or not).

In the context of Plan S, Robert-Jan Smits singled out SciPost and suggested classifying it as a "Rhodium" publisher.

[32] In a Nature editorial on the evolution of journals into "information platforms", SciPost was qualified as "most impressive".
