Paying peer reviewers works. Expanded Fast & Fair experiment @BiologyOpen • 6 vs 38 working days to decision with reviews • 3 vs 9 reviewer invitations per manuscript • no reduction in editor-assessed review quality • similar acceptance rates biorxiv.org/content/10.648…- @United canceled my flight (UA5814) on March 6 due to maintenance failures—NOT weather. Stranded me at IAH all day, promised Uber reimbursement, then refused. Now, 2 weeks later, customer service is denying responsibility. Make this right @UnitedAirlines
- This is an amazing program conceived by my predecessor @BiologyOpen @Steve__Kelly Reviewers & authors, please plant a tree by reviewing and publishing with @Co_BiologistsThanks Elena! Every reviewer who completes a report for one of our journals gets their own tree in the virtual Forest of Biologists @For_Biologists. And together with @WoodlandTrust we’re preserving real forest up in the Lake District.
- Yes! The Nobel committee will recognize your discovery no matter where it’s published. Will HHMI? Searle? Pew? Hiring & promotion committees?Today's Nobel is a reminder to focus on the work and not the journal. The key publications cited by the committee were published in Immunity, Molecular Therapy, and Nucleic Acids Research. Respectable journals, but not the Big 3. The discoveries are what's important, not a name.
