The following comment refers to this/these guideline(s)

Guideline 15

Publication medium

Authors select the publication medium carefully, with due regard for its quality and visibility in the relevant field of discourse. Researchers who assume the role of editor carefully select where they will carry out this activity. The scientific/academic quality of a contribution does not depend on the medium in which it is published.

Explanations:

In addition to publication in books and journals, authors may also consider academic repositories, data and software repositories, and blogs. A new or unknown publication medium is evaluated to assess its seriousness.

A key criterion to selecting a publication medium is whether it has established guidelines on good research practice.

The Future of Scientific Publishing – ISC Principles

The International Science Council (ISC) has set down eight principles on how publishing as a public good can best serve scientific progress. These principles are highly consistent with the relevant DFG Guidelines for Safeguarding Good Research Practice and also with DFG funding practice.

Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing

The Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association has issued its Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing. There are no “white lists” or “black lists”, and quite deliberately so: the principles, of which there are 16 in all, are intended as a checklist for publication media against which they can measure themselves. Lack of transparency with regard to one or more of the principles is an initial indication of doubt as to the integrity of a publication medium.
