Haven't blogged in a long long time.

But I just about found time tonight to write a tiny bit more about PCI Registered Reports (@pcirr) and a recent peer-review experience that made me realise the community need for PCI Registered Reports:

This is just a quick post of appreciation for PCI Registered Reports. I’ve recently joined the PCI RR community as a ‘recommender‘. One thing that spurred me to join is a rather unsatisfactory experience I had as a peer-reviewer, reviewing a manuscript where the experimental design was deeply insufficient.
