I'm not going to say it's a turning point, but it's definitely a step in the right direction. "From July 2021 eLife will only review manuscripts already published as preprints, and will focus its editorial process on producing public reviews to be posted alongside the preprints." And here's the real upshot: "It means that for all practical purposes eLife is no longer a publisher: rather, eLife is now an organization that reviews and certifies papers that have already been published." I know that publishers don't want to make this change... but it's sure good for science, and for the wider community. Image: eLife, Preprint Review: A guide for authors
