Abstract The rhetoric of “excellence” is pervasive across the academy. It used to refer research outputs as well researchers, theory and education, individuals organizations, from art history zoology. But does actually mean anything? Does this narrative do any good? Drawing on a range sources we interrogate concept find that it has no intrinsic meaning in academia. Rather functions linguistic interchange mechanism. To investigate whether function useful examine how excellence combines with...
Peer review is an important part of the scientific process, but traditional peer at journals coming under increased scrutiny for its inefficiency and lack transparency. As preprints become more widely used accepted, they raise possibility rethinking peer-review process. Preprints are enabling new forms that have potential to be thorough, inclusive, collegial than journal review, thus fundamentally shift culture toward constructive collaboration. In this Consensus View, we make a call action...
Spinal cord injury often results in permanent and devastating neurological deficits disability. This is due to the limited regenerative capacity of neurones central nervous system (CNS). We recently demonstrated that a transcription factor retinoic acid receptor beta2 (RARbeta2) promoted axonal regeneration adult sensory located peripherally. However, it not known if RARbeta2 can promote cortical CNS. Here, we demonstrate delivery via lentiviral vector dissociated significantly enhances...
Preprints enable new forms of peer review that have the potential to be more thorough, inclusive, and collegial. In December 2022, 80 researchers representatives funders, institutions, preprint servers, journals, indexers, services were invited gather online at Janelia Research Campus for a workshop on Recognizing Preprint Peer Review. Sponsored by HHMI, ASAPbio, EMBO, this meeting aimed catalyze community consensus support create model funder, institutional, journal policies recognize both...
Preprints catalyze rapid and open communication of research. A frequent criticism preprints, however, is their lack peer review. In recent years, myriad new initiatives have enabled review preprinted research to be coordinated, collected, displayed alongside preprints. This provides evaluation context for readers, as well feedback the authors. The processes behind preprint are diverse may differ from journal review, which can a challenge readers seeking compare interpret reviews. To address...
<ns4:p>Increasingly, preprints are at the center of conversations across research ecosystem. But disagreements remain about role they play. Do “count” for assessment? Is it ok to post in more than one place? In this paper, we argue that these discussions often conflate two separate issues, history manuscript and status granted by different communities. propose a new model distinguishes characteristics object, its “state”, from subjective “standing” This provides way discuss difference...
The growth of open access (OA) has created a unique opportunity for publishers and institutions to collaborate deliver real change the way science is disseminated built upon. OA allows share evaluate research performed by their researchers as never before. Through OA, can now reach readers from all walks life, countries world. Combined with article-level metrics, authors are able see full research, beyond traditional channels citations journal impact factors (IFs). However, drive...
In 2016, Crossref launched a metadata schema for ‘posted content’ with the aim of better accommodating needs preprints, working papers, theses, reports, and related outputs, which are not typically peer-reviewed. 2021, formed an Advisory Group (AG) to discuss how quality preprints using this could be improved. The group focused on four topics: 1) as article type (rather than subtype posted-content); 2) relationships to/from preprints; 3) versioning; 4) withdrawal/removal preprints....

PLOS launched its Article-Level Metrics (ALMs) programme in 2009 as an alternative to the crude journal-level metrics that scientists have relied upon for so long identify important research. ALMs allow readers see how many views, downloads, citations and shares individual paper has received, thus determine impact on a field. Over past year, been expanded include social media information, such Facebook likes Tweets, novel web tools Mendeley Citeulike. Researchers are now using this...
Since it launched five years ago, PLOS ONE has redefined the scientific journal. The broad publication criteria and lack of page limit allowed to grow at a rate never seen before in industry, level where needed its own category: Megajournal. Recently, other publishers have sought emulate success with releases their megajournals. These new journals all similar properties: full Open Access, editorial based on sound science not significance or impact, fast turnaround, scope. In this talk I...
Objective: Rapid review and publication are crucial for accelerating scientific progress, the time required to solicit reviews wait their return can cause significant delays. We postulate that processes of finding reviewers subsequent individual be completed may not independent, with potential implications overall editorial time. Reviewers more likely agree an assignment if offered a long deadline, speeding first step, but this deadline delay second step. Alternatively, short could...

This article is based on a session with the same title from 2023 APE (Academic Publishing in Europe) conference, which authors discussed challenges and opportunities for scholarly communications community to improve trust quality of research it funds, publishes, uses. They provide here brief summary discussion, including: how much trouble integrity in? Who should be responsible addressing it? Do we need less technology or more? Is better peer review answer; if so, what does that look like?...
In recent years, funders have increased their support for early sharing of biomedical research through the use preprints. For most, such as COAlitionS group (ASAPbio 2019) and Gates foundation, this takes form active encouragement, while others, it is mandated. But despite these motivations, few authors are routinely depositing work a preprint before submitting to journal.
 Some journals started offering option posting at point which submitted review. These include PLOS, who offer link...
Scholarly publishing is evolving, and there a need to understand design the new (emergent) workflows while also designing technology capture support these processes. This article documents an ongoing collaboration develop meet emergent in scholarly publishing, namely Publish-Review-Curate (PRC). We explore this topic with different eLife PRC community stakeholders using Kotahi, flexible open-source platform that can variant (built by Coko).
