Transparent research has been a topic of intense debate in the HCI community over the last decade, and has the potential to improve the quality of the research field as well as promote more efficient use of scientific resources. To experiment with new publishing formats such as interactive articles, open review processes, and stronger transparency requirements, the authors have recently started the independent Journal of Visualization and Interaction (JoVI), a diamond open-access journal (i.e. a purely volunteer-driven effort that charges neither author nor subscription fees) for the HCI and VIS communities. We propose a SIG meeting at CHI '24 to present the current state of our experimental journal to the wider community, to solicit feedback from interested attendees, and to foster discussion on future publication processes and formats in human-computer interaction research.
