description <p>This short report provides a description of an online consultation on the scientific publication system. With the dialogical procedure German-speaking scientists from all disciplines were invited to articulate their perspectives on principles and current problems in scientific publishing. 697 participants addressed their opinion in two areas of consultation (a) Consultation area &ldquo;evaluate principles&rdquo;: The goal was to find out whether there is a general consensus throughout academia of what constitutes a good publication system. For this purpose principles of a good scientific publication system could be commented on and evaluated with positive or negative votes. (b) Consultation area &ldquo;name problems&rdquo;: The perspective of the participants on current challenges and problems of the publication system was supposed to be obtained. The contributions of the participants focus on eight topics: (1) printed vs. digital publication, (2) business models of large publishing houses, (3) Open Access, (4) publication-based performance indicators, (5) authorship, (6) peer review, (7) publication bias, and (8) research data.</p>
