The danger of inaccuracies remaining in a peer-reviewed article is that the reader's guard may be down and their professional skepticism not be what it would be for a preprint ("it has been peer-reviewed, hasn't it? Does that not guarantee that it's correct?"). That makes inaccuracies in peer-reviewed articles more dangerous than those in preprints.

Citizen Science as the new paradigm for Science Communication. « Smells like team spirit: how citizen science can succeed ». cordis.europa.eu/article/id/44 However, the biggest difficulty is that popularised science is not science and never will be.

Open Access, Rights Retention Strategy 

Interesting to see this published behind a paywall at Nature Genetics

The authors have used the rights retention strategy, the statement is clearly there in the acknowledgements (which sit outside the paywall at this journal). But I can't yet find the full text open copy they have the right to upload to EuropePMC.

Paywalled version: nature.com/articles/s41588-022
EuropePMC entry for it: europepmc.org/article/MED/3633

Controverses sur les connaissances et les politiques liées au COVID.

Petit rappel pour les nouveaux : Les messages privés ont la sécurité d'une carte postale.

- Les admins (actuels et futurs) de votre serveur peuvent les lire.

- Les admin (actuels et futurs) du serveur de votre interlocuteur peuvent les lire aussi.

- S'il y a un jour une faille de sécurité sur un des deux serveurs, les messages sont en clair.

Si c'est vraiment privé, utilisé un autre canal de communication.

Note : C'est aussi vrai sur twitter.
