There are four schools of thought that each have their own ideas on how scientific peer review can be improved. Wolfgang Kaltenbrunner, @stephenpinfield, Helen Woods and I have revised our paper on this topic https://doi.org/10.31235/osf.io/v8ghj. We have also created a visualization that summarizes the key tensions between the four schools. We are grateful to the reviewers of our paper for their very useful feedback.

Two French research institutes combine forces to convert a journal to the diamond open access model (open access with no author-side charges) 👍

Ifremer (French National Research Institute for Ocean Science) and IRD (French National Research Institute for Sustainable Development) have made the journal 𝐀𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐬 (ALR) a diamond open access journal, with immediate effect!

The Thing Itself – C.S. Lewis, born on this day in 1898, on what we long for in our existential longing https://www.themarginalian.org/2022/09/03/c-s-lewis-longing/

After more than a decade of doing it, I’ve realised that the thing I love most about editing #RegisteredReports is that because you’re involved from the beginning of the idea to the end of the research, you become like a surrogate member of their lab family. Through thick and thin, pandemics, new jobs, births, deaths and everything in between, you remain a kind of constant, supporting them and the community by overseeing independent critical evaluation. It’s a unique role in science.

I'm going to hand out about 8 billion consent forms soon. If you could all get them back to me ASAP that would be appreciated.
