@Anthro Completely agree! And with technology advances now there are endless opportunities to conduct & share result in really interesting way. The article/journal container of info is just boring and outdated...

@[email protected] created the 'transformative journal' model to help publishers transition to open access. It was always meant to be a transition model. Today @[email protected] announced that it will stick to the original timeline and end support for transformative journals by 2025. https://twitter.com/cOAlitionS_OA/status/1618549734666534913

“.@cOAlitionS_OA confirms that financial support for Transformative Agreements and Journals will end after 2024. Instead, funders will direct their efforts to innovative and community-led #OpenAccess publishing initiatives. https://t.co/OI0QIhDvL7 #Plan_S”

👆 This just hits too close to home as a Jeep owner who has never taken the top off...
"They just post their PDFs on a website before trying to get them published in a journal, so whatever they produce is still intended to pass peer review. It’s like everyone has a Jeep that can go off-road, and yet they only ever drive on the highway."

"Publishing this way means a paper stops improving once it’s published."

Spot on. I am continually surprised that version control does not exist in traditional journal infrastructure. It should be crucial to have the research record evolve with the research itself.

"That’s also why I’m not worried about an onslaught of terrible papers—we’ve already got an onslaught of terrible papers. You learn very quickly to ignore them, just like you learn to ignore junk mail, stupid Netflix shows, and spam calls."
As someone who desperately wants to see an overhaul of how #PeerReview is conducted I loooooove this blog piece. https://slate.com/human-interest/2023/01/peer-review-critique-scientists-controversy.html
I Wrote a Viral Screed Against Peer Review. I Got Some Emails.

I said what I said.
