- I was sad to see PubMed Commons to be Discontinued. I had high hopes for that sort of post-publication peer review and for the possibilities of journal club discussion postings. However I am happy to see that Hypothes.is is planning on Preserving Comments from PubMed Commons.
- Also in the Open Science Framework (OSF) Preprints arena, Hypothesis and the Center for Open Science Collaborate on Annotation. [Also Elsevier Collaborates with Hypothesis to Integrate Open Annotation and Pensoft’s ARPHA teams with Hypothesis to encourage scientific discourse through annotation]
- Badges? We Don’t Need No Stinking Preprint Badges!, post on Scholarly Kitchen blog. “By incorporating post-publication validation badges into preprints, bioRxiv begins to transform itself into the largest open access megajournal the world has ever seen.”
- Transparency, Recognition, and Innovation in Peer Review in the Life Sciences was a conference held Feb. 7-8, 2018. Presentaton slides, video archives and background reading are available on the site. I recommend the meeting summary. “The majority of participants favored:
- Publishing the content of peer reviews (with or without the reviewers’ names) and making these reports a formal part of the scholarly record with an associated DOI,
- Formal recognition and credit for peer review activities from funding agencies and institutions, and
- Acknowledging all contributors to a peer review report (such as students and postdocs) when submitting it to a journal.”
