This was really interesting 👏

Some slides from the event have been posted here:

And some of the resources and topics that came up 👇

Interesting pointer from a #JEDI thread:
Description of a process to integrate evaluation of computational reproducibility into #PeerReview:
https://f1000research.com/articles/10-253/v2

I also like the ethos and wonder whether #PeerReview in general could learn from this?

1. Codecheckers record but don’t investigate or fix.
2. Communication between humans is key
3. Credit is given to codecheckers.
4. Computational workflows must be auditable.
5. Open by default and transitional by disposition.

#NightshiftEditor

Got a #PeerReview request from an electronic #OpenAccess journal that charges APCs. So far so normal.

But they charge an additional fee of US$100 per page if a paper exceeds page count limits. Admittedly, those are set realistically (for my field at least). But in an electronic journal?

#NightshiftEditor

I recently had to re-visit SAGE's "Reviewer's Guide"* and was surprised that it still contained these questions to guide the formation of the first impression of a paper:

Is this paper relevant for the journal?

Is this research significant within the field?

Is the work presented novel?

Does it add to the subject area?

Arguably, none of these are questions for reviewers to answer.

Great @EASE seminar yesterday
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjYWGlatYZQ

Really good content also for authors, PIs, #PeerReview -ers & people who consider #RCT methodology for future work.

The discussion was lively and covered some advanced topics.

One key moment:
the broader landscape of registrations, and within that the specific trial requirements, is often not covered well in the literature and such talks - for more, check in at 6:24min

Touching on trials, reporting guidelines, and journal publishing/ editing - this
@EASE science webinar on 30.09. sounds very promising:

Brittany Lapin and I edited* the joint publication of the PRISMA-COSMIN guidelines for Outcome Measurement Instruments 2024 in four journals last year:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38980635/

It is great to see that this is now also accompanied by table templates for communication of results

New #AcademicYear - New #introduction

I am a researcher at #DundeeUni and interested in health-related quality of life
#HRQoL #Psychometrics

I teach #ResearchMethodology and #ResearchMethods with a focus on #Quantitative methods.

I worked for 7yrs as a #NightshiftEditor and I am still mulling over roles in and sense of #AcademicPublishing

This is mainly a work account, but I also post #Dundee stuff such as #DunDeCofaidh and occasional #Deutsch #Svenska #Gaidhlig (👉 pure work account at BSky)
