Passing Review: how the R-index aims to improve the peer-review system by quantifying reviewer contributions.

Peer review is flawed. Look no further than the storm of attention over sexist reviewer comments. A new index proposes a simple way to create transparency and quality control mechanisms. Shane Gero…

ReviewerCredits Podcast Episode #9 by ReviewerCredits Podcast

In our latest fabbo podcast episode we talk about publishers, Open Access and transparent peer review with two experts, Ed Newman from Mavericks Publishing Specialists and Jo Havemann from Access2Perspectives. What did we learn? About how trends in the publishing industry are shaping peer review into the future as well as cross-academia perceptions of open or transparent peer review. We also learn about how researchers from around the world could (and should) be better rewarded for the work they do as peer reviewers and how this could be done by publishers and journals. Sit back, settle in and enjoy the ReviewerCredits podcast!

Are you confused about Preprinting and Preprint Servers? Do you want your research to be Open Access but are unsure about Open Peer Review? Join the ReviewerCredits team on Friday October 27th at 12:00 GMT for a FREE Workshop and Explainer Session! Get up to speed with Open Research, Preprints, and Open Access: Understand what’s best for your career? The basic idea that research results, including the publications that result, should be freely available for all to see, download, read, and cite. On the face of it, this seems like a very good idea and, indeed, surveys conducted so far suggest that most researchers around the world are very supportive of this idea: they want their publications to be available to everyone once peer reviewed and accepted by a journal. So, imagine: you’ve just completed a piece of work, gathered some data and results, and are about to start the write-up process. Which target journal should you choose? (remember that we recommend that you should choose a target journal for your work before you start to write, one of the ‘three things you need to know’ before you start to write). It’s time to select a decent journal, one with a high impact factor, reach and reputation with your community. Here’s the problem: although most researchers want their papers to appear in OA outlets, it’s not always the case that high impact factors journals are OA. What about Open Peer Review? How does this work on Preprint Servers? Will my research be safe if it is Preprinted? Join our team to learn more!
