#eLife publication question:
Since eLife is more like a preprint server now, has anyone tried publishing in eLife, and once you got your reviews and revised the manuscript, sending the final version to a 'normal' journal (really just to get that line on your CV)?

If you tried, did it work?

Edit: just found out I asked the same question about a year ago:
neuromatch.social/@elduvelle/1…

Edit 2: seems that at the time of my first post, eLife was leaving open the possibility to do the final publication in another journal, it was one of the steps of their system. Now it's not listed in the main steps anymore, but they say:

"Can I submit my paper somewhere else following peer review by eLife?
As far as eLife is concerned, authors can do anything with their paper that they want to. It is their paper, not ours. This includes, but is not limited to, having their work assessed by another journal on the basis of eLife reviews, although we expect most authors will not find this necessary or desirable. Please note that an eLife Version of Record is considered a regular journal article, which marks the end of the publishing process."

(I also edited my question because it doesn't seem you can "re-publish" your version of record)
