Our view on why openRxiv Labs is so exciting

Test out the implementation

Even more bioRxiv related news!

Great to have our report and work cited in this! A good list of recommendations, although very limited interviews and I’d question how much "expertise” was actually captured given some of those interviewed are not preprint experts.

“it is important there are repercussions for individuals” is a sentiment that I fully agree with

Absolutely worth a read as is reading more about the open science industrial complex that Casey mentions

Not a great direction from qed here - read our comments linked above & check our Ran Blekhman’s peer review of the qed claims

This is in interesting one to watch. Shows some improvements, though sustainability and scaling remain big questions.

Good article with some solid suggestions

To me, this highlights the still ongoing issue of so much reform being performative and lacking substance.

“Differences emerged on multiple fronts, including how researchers defined the concepts in question; the algorithms they used to analyze the data; and the parameters they set when implementing the algorithms.”

Over 450 issues identified so far. Response from Thermo; “images may have been optimized for presentation and clarity“

Good to see a focus on trust signals, though this does not do a good enough job of suggesting how they could be responsibly governed. The special mention for PRC is also an unfortunate choice given that there is no discussion of this that is rooted in evidence and it’s presented in less than objective way. There’s also some selective referencing around this which for me undermines some of the conclusions (which is an enormous shame).
