@mike@sauropods.win @villavelius@mastodon.online @mattjhodgkinson @brembs@mastodon.social @Luke_Drury@mastodon.dias.ie @johannes_lehmann@fediscience.org This is interesting. But science can't just all be "preprint and done", can it? As flawed as it is, peer review on some level is needed, no? (I would prefer to have peer-reviewers and editors be fairly compensated for their labor, rather than all $ going to publishing companies that do nothing but format your pdf)

  • @plektix@mathstodon.xyz Peer review is useful indeed and preprints are perfectly compatible with it. The Gates Foundation repository does preprint peer review, BioRxiv has a peer review overlay* (used by eLife) and there are multiple organisations collating preprint reviews (e.g. PreReview, ReviewCommons). I’d love to see separate, non-profit entities for curation (as PreLights does), in depth critical review (PubPeer, but friendlier) and publishing (Rxiv servers). * https://www.science.org/content/article/bid-boost-transparency-biorxiv-begins-posting-peer-reviews-next-preprints

I always took it for granted, as we all do. But in my own experience, undergoing peer-review costs me more that it gets me. I'm on the fence.

    @plektix@mathstodon.xyz @mike@sauropods.win @villavelius@mastodon.online @Luke_Drury@mastodon.dias.ie @johannes_lehmann@fediscience.org I'd guess nobody who follows the evidence would want to keep the peer-review we currently use: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnhum.2018.00037/full And paying extra for something we are already paid for also doesn't sound like a good idea: https://bjoern.brembs.net/2023/02/how-about-paying-extra-for-peer-review/
