"Veronika Koren talks about pursuing a theory of neural coding that doesn’t fit a simple narrative, and the resilience it took to see it through."

Q: "The first version of the article was described as "Incomplete" in the eLife Assessment. How did you feel about this, and what changes did you make to take that assessment to “Convincing”?"

A: "Our paper does not have a simple storyline but rather draws a somewhat intricate but deep link between a mathematical theory and the functioning of biological neural networks. We were worried that many journals would prefer a simpler "story", but estimated that eLife might be one that simultaneously enjoys an excellent reputation and where our results might be appreciated. [...] I was disappointed by the first assessment, because we omitted more detailed analyses to make the paper more focused. [...] the thorough reviews asked us to dig deeper, which we gladly did. I followed every comment of each reviewer with great attention, significantly reshaping the paper and making it more solid."

Indeed, at eLife we want the full enchilada. As it should be.

Reflecting on eLife's new publication model, 3 years in: "the most important thing we have learnt is that our new approach to publishing works. Authors, reviewers and editors routinely tell us that they have had a more constructive experience with the new approach."

Proud to be an eLife editor. eLife's publication model gets the best from everyone:
* from authors, who remain in control and can reply to reviewers without fear and without being overly apologetic or sycophantic;
* from reviewers, who engage constructively in a semi-anonymous way (they aren't anonymous neither to each other nor to the editors, all practicing scientists in their field), knowing that their comments are suggestions, not mandates for authors;
* and from editors, who don't have to deal with any nastiness from any party, everybody being far more relaxed that I've seen in any other journal, concentrating their efforts in the scientific content.

Today: Questa dieta stimola il corpo a bruciare grassi (senza bisogno di esercizio fisico)

Una dieta mirata potrebbe attivare il “motore termico” dell’organismo e aumentare il consumo di calorie senza bisogno di esporsi al freddo o fare più esercizio fisico. È quanto emerge da uno studio pubblicato su eLife e condotto da un team del Dipartimento di Biochimica e Biologia Molecolare...

This diet stimulates the body to burn fat (without the need for exercise).

A targeted diet could activate the body’s “thermogenic engine” and increase calorie consumption without needing to expose oneself to the cold or exercise more. This is what emerges from a study published on eLife and conducted by a team from the Department of Biochimica and Molecular Biology...
