Preprinting helps accelerate dissemination of scientific knowledge. To what extent do researchers adopt preprinting? And how does this vary by discipline and region?

Together with Narmin Rzayeva and @stephenpinfield, I just published an article answering these questions. https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/xdwc4_v2

The peer review system no longer works to guarantee academic rigour - a different approach is needed https://theconversation.com/the-peer-review-system-no-longer-works-to-guarantee-academic-rigour-a-different-approach-is-needed-244092

In this piece @stephenpinfield, Kathy Zeiler and I make the case for the publish-review-curate model, the model we use in the #MetaROR (MetaResearch Open Review) platform launched earlier this week.

For more details about MetaROR's publish-review-curate model, see https://metaror.org/publish-review-curate/.

The peer review system is broken - a different approach is needed 💡

@ConversationUK about how increased transparency in the review process could speed scientific progress: https://theconversation.com/the-peer-review-system-no-longer-works-to-guarantee-academic-rigour-a-different-approach-is-needed-244092

Excited to share that later this month @RoRInstitute and @aimos will launch the new #MetaROR (MetaResearch Open Review) platform, offering open peer review of articles in the field of metaresearch.

Together with Kathryn Zeiler, I will serve as Editor-in-Chief of the platform. Other collaborators include @aidybarnett, @alexh, @andrebrasil, @jameswilsdon, @jasonchin, @stephenpinfield, among others.

See https://researchonresearch.org/metaror-launch/ for information about our launch events on November 21 and 26.

COVID’s preprint bump set to have lasting effect on research publishing https://doi.org/10.1038/d41586-024-00401-4

In this piece by @Dalmeet our @cwts PhD candidate Narmin Rzayeva shares her reflections on our paper 'The experiences of COVID-19 preprint authors: a survey of researchers about publishing and receiving feedback on their work during the pandemic' https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.15864.

@stephenpinfield @polka

Impt point from @mpe: "The current situation is deeply ableist. As a disabled person who is too unwell to access a research library, the only way that I can do research is through the digital availability of works. We [can] fix this, but many academics are more concerned by their own career prospects & ensuring they can publish w/ their chosen publisher than fixing access issues. It’s as though the 𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵 of publishing were to cement academic careers."
