I really think that a federated system for scientific publication could sense. Each "journal" is a separate instance, federated with all others. A department, a school, a research institute, whatever could host it. You manage submission, editing, peer review, etc. through the system.

What do you mean exactly by federated in this context?

What is getting federated in your ideal scenario?

I think what they mean is every journal behaves like an instance on lemmy, federated with eachother. One journal not living up to your standards, block them on your instance etc. Like lemmy
