#F1000Research aimed at #OpenPeerReview but is utterly failing. Sending a reminder just one week after a first request for a review (on version 2 of a text), and then saying nothing - effectively refusing to publish the review - for *six months* despite two reminders defeats the whole idea of open peer review.

#Qeios seems to be doing the opposite - after publishing a review immediately, it clarifies by email that it's a *preprint* server.

#Qeios states "we promote *post-publication* open evaluation and discussion" [5]. (*emphasis* mine)

I posted a review. In a post-review email, Qeios said: "Qeios papers get... more views & downloads... than preprints posted on other venues, greatly increasing the chances of acceptance for publication by your preferred journals." So is it a *preprint* server?

Any opinions on #Qeios [0][1] for #OpenPeerReview? Columbia Uni Mailman SchPublicHealth [2] and NYT [3] seem to take it seriously. I'm rather annoyed at #F1000Research , which pressured me for a fast report on v2 of a paper but after 5 months and several reminders hasn't published my review of v2 [4].

Qeios sounds serious. Is it?

@mbirna #Qeios is definitely a legitimate platform. They offer an innovative way to facilitate preprinting and open peer review. #Qeios is also a supporter of the @ASAPbio #PublishYourReviews initiative https://asapbio.org/publishyourreviews.

I fully agree we need more public scholarly debate instead of traditional closed peer review focused on accept/reject decisions. As reviewer I'm increasingly investing my time in new open forms of peer review.

anyone using #Qeios? Is this yet-another-researchgate or something of interest? https://www.qeios.com/invitation-to-join/researcher/19616
