A conversation I had with @marcellaflamme from @PLOS about #preprints, #peerreview, AI, and, of course, #ReviewCommons has just been posted on the RC site.

"Q As we ask peer review to do more and more things, should we also be looking at new ways to recognize the work of reviewers?

LaFlamme: Another way to ask that question is: should outputs other than published articles and big grants count toward research assessment and the development of scientific careers?"

Last fall I spoke with @MarkHanson, who was then in Bruno Lemaitre's lab, for EMBO's #ReviewCommons platform for refereed #preprints. I love this detail about how flies grow - I picture a tiny little bicycle pump in there somewhere:

'When flies eclode from the pupa they are soft and squishy and they “manually” inflate their wings by pumping air through their body and that inflates the cuticle in a way that there is room for the body to move around inside that shell.'

I noticed the same with #ReviewCommons at EMBO - neuro, cell bio, evolution, evo-devo and many other fields seem to have much more of a pioneering spirit.

In the latest episode of the #EMBOPodcast, @cyrilpedia and @tlemberger spoke with the Editor in Chief of BMJ Open, Adrian Aldcroft, about #preprints, #peerreview and #ReviewCommons.

BMJ Open is an open-access medical journal with an open peer review process. Adrian, Thiago and Thomas discussed the challenges clinical research present to #openscience, the role of editors in basic and clinical research and more!

A focus of the episode were the challenges clinical research present to #openscience and preprints.

You can listen to it on the link below or on pretty much any podcast app we've tried so far (if you can't find it on your podcast app, please let us know which one you're using).

@npariente A wonderful statement of editorial policy, lots to agree with, but we’ll have to agree to disagree on this one: “the role of selective journals as a means to access the most important advances remains crucial”. For me, journals lost long ago any relevance towards discovery of new, relevant or exciting new findings. First pubmed search, then google scholar, now the above plus recommendations in social media channels. Journals remain as reputable organizers of peer review, but even that is fading with the rise of preprint servers plus overleaf journals, or reviewing entities such as #reviewcommons and now #eLife.

@mariawimber @AllenNeuroLab @eLife Thank you and indeed, that’s how I understood it: a very interesting thought. Scientific publishing rate-limited by the availability of scientists to review a manuscript.

To further remark, regarding transparency, that one can always post reviews anytime to a @biorxivpreprint manuscript. And that #ReviewCommons is no different than what @eLife is aiming at, except they don’t publish manuscripts, only reviews. Scientific publishing is evolving, and that’s @eLife raison d’être.
