Over at @eLife, we’re eliminating accept/reject decisions and relinquishing the traditional journal role of gatekeeper.

This new model is our move towards a fairer system that helps researchers get recognition for what, not where they publish. Read more: https://t.co/XIzOyb7W1l

In-person academic conferences are costly and exclusive - accelerating efforts to improve virtual conferences can lead to a more equitable and sustainable conference culture https://t.co/YVF8UeW1Ki New Comment from @SSarabipour et al.

[Dr. Samantha Seah @SeahSamantha]

Our work on improving scientific conferences has been published. We assessed 270 in-person conferences and noted that many were lacking in sustainability, inclusivity and accessibility. We believe that a switch to virtual formats is crucial for science🧵👇🏼 https://t.co/2eyyESMFbf

The use of non-inclusive terms such as "blacklist" and "whitelist", or “master” and “slave” is increasing in the life sciences literature. Aziz Khan (@khanaziz84) calls for the academic community to expunge these archaic terms https://t.co/uBBX9qZz7T

[eLife - the journal @eLife]

Studies have shown that white PIs are 1.7 times more likely to receive NIH grant funding than Black PIs. A recent Feature Article delves into these disparities in more detail and considers the agency’s response.
