I like @eLife but it's a bit annoying to have "figure supplements" that are only accessible on the online version, by clicking , and for some reason are not in the PDF.. why??

"Veronika Koren talks about pursuing a theory of neural coding that doesn’t fit a simple narrative, and the resilience it took to see it through."
https://elifesciences.org/inside-elife/75921c16/inside-discovery-where-theory-meets-biology

Q: "The first version of the article was described as "Incomplete" in the eLife Assessment. How did you feel about this, and what changes did you make to take that assessment to “Convincing”?"

A: "Our paper does not have a simple storyline but rather draws a somewhat intricate but deep link between a mathematical theory and the functioning of biological neural networks. We were worried that many journals would prefer a simpler "story", but estimated that eLife might be one that simultaneously enjoys an excellent reputation and where our results might be appreciated. [...] I was disappointed by the first assessment, because we omitted more detailed analyses to make the paper more focused. [...] the thorough reviews asked us to dig deeper, which we gladly did. I followed every comment of each reviewer with great attention, significantly reshaping the paper and making it more solid."

Indeed, at eLife we want the full enchilada. As it should be.

Reflecting on eLife's new publication model, 3 years in: "the most important thing we have learnt is that our new approach to publishing works. Authors, reviewers and editors routinely tell us that they have had a more constructive experience with the new approach."

https://elifesciences.org/articles/110392?_hsmi=98220609

Proud to be an eLife editor. eLife's publication model gets the best from everyone:
* from authors, who remain in control and can reply to reviewers without fear and without being overly apologetic or sycophantic;
* from reviewers, who engage constructively in a semi-anonymous way (they aren't anonymous neither to each other nor to the editors, all practicing scientists in their field), knowing that their comments are suggestions, not mandates for authors;
* and from editors, who don't have to deal with any nastiness from any party, everybody being far more relaxed that I've seen in any other journal, concentrating their efforts in the scientific content.

@elduvelle @albertcardona @neuralreckoning

To me this question seems to be the issue of the #eLife journal hypothesis: they are providing reviews on preprints. They are basically post-preprint review (like #PubPeer), but unlike PubPeer, they still think (at least they talk of themselves as) a journal.

I think what #eLife and #PubPeer are doing is great. But they cannot be listed in one's CV as "refereed publications" in the way that other gatekept* journals are.

... which gets at the point @jonmsterling made about separating "preprints", "refereed publications" and "titles I'm thinking about writing" (in preparation) on one's CV.

It would be interesting to see how #eLife is still being treated as a "journal" on CVs and for grants and promotion.

BTW, in an earlier discussion, we agreed that one could list eLife papers in one's CV as long as one also included the eLife assessment on one's CV. Wanna bet these authors don't? 🤔

* Yes, I know eLife is gatekept by editors, but the door is opened based on "interesting", not based on "correct". (And, yes, there is evidence that the Glam journals do that as well, but they are at least ostensibly _claiming_ to only publish papers that are "correct".)

@albertcardona @jonny @pluralistic

It is also worth noting that it is completely legal to preprint all versions up to the final accepted version (but not the proofread / edited version*). So if you preprint everything you submit, there is no reason ever to pay "open access" APC charges.
* To my knowledge, no journal has fought an author on making that final version available on your lab website.

And, of course, there are now "prestige" journals (like #eLife) that are post-preprint review. (eLife is proof that the prestige problem [and the related inequity-driving cost-to-publish problem*] and the closed-access problem are different issues.)
* eLife costs $3000 to publish a paper.

BTW: Does APC stand for "author pays corporations"? 🫤
