#publishyourreviews — Public Fediverse posts

Last month Thomas Heinze published the paper 'Isomorphism among Public Universities in Germany, 1995-2015' on #SocArXiv https://doi.org/10.31235/osf.io/8v6s3. The paper presents a methodology for analyzing isomorphism (structural similarity) of universities.

I just published a review of the paper at https://ludowaltman.pubpub.org/pub/review-isomorphism/release/1. In my review I express some doubts I have about the methodology introduced in the paper.

It's not too late to write additional comments 😀 (at https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Talk:WikiJournal_Preprints/Multiple_object_tracking), otherwise the next step is likely for the editor to send my response and revision back to the two reviewers. If the manuscript is ultimately accepted, it will then replace, wholesale, the existing Wikipedia article. #openaccess #openreviews #publishYourReviews #wikipedia @cognition #perception #visionscience

@mbirna #Qeios is definitely a legitimate platform. They offer an innovative way to facilitate preprinting and open peer review. #Qeios is also a supporter of the @ASAPbio #PublishYourReviews initiative https://asapbio.org/publishyourreviews.

I fully agree we need more public scholarly debate instead of traditional closed peer review focused on accept/reject decisions. As reviewer I'm increasingly investing my time in new open forms of peer review.

Researchers push preprint reviews to improve scientific communications https://doi.org/10.1126/science.adg2283.

Great report by Jeffrey Brainard covering a recent workshop on preprint peer review organized by #HHMI, @ASAPbio and #EMBO. Lots of hugely important developments in this area. If you want to contribute yourself, make sure to #PublishYourReviews!
