Big News: We have accepted our first manuscript at EBT - a protocol for the development of INVITES-IN, a tool for assessing the internal validity of in vitro studies. Accepted preprint here: https://t.co/j8eDXDUZrh and reviewer assessment reports are here https://t.co/j8eDXDUZrh
@aemonten There are ways of making PRC compatible with Clarivate's current requirements for JIF (and I'm not sure why eLife are being so stubborn about it). Of course, Clarivate could be a bit more bloody flexible as well, so I dare say a solution will be found.
@JamesSteeleII That's very confusing. My journal requires submitting authors to have a "registered" preprint of a manuscript so there is a permanent public record of the manuscript they sent to use for evaluation - but that's not what is happening here, is it?
@dieworkwear For better or worse, this is a fabric and colour combo which attempts to follow @dieworkwear advice off the peg and on a tight budget. You are correct that the shirt does not fit very well and I struggle with tying a tie. :))))
@dieworkwear For anyone interested, these paint folks have a nice explainer for colour theory. Fabric obviously has texture which complicates things a bit, but the principle holds. https://t.co/ArCJcr8qXo
@RodWhiteley @jamesheathers Unless you are doing alphanumeric ordering for dates in which case obviously YYYY-MM-DD is the one true religion. You can send me my gifts and cards on 2024-11-14. (I will allow underscores.)
@albertobaccini@PredatoryReport Exactly. I am a director of a non-profit company and we are required to hold assets that would allow us to continue as a going concern during downturns in business. If our expenditure was around the 30 million mark (I wish!) we would want to retain 10-20% of that.
@PredatoryReport@aemonten I'm not defending any particular pricing model, but we need to recognise there is a lot more in scientific publishing than posting a PDF online. If you are working with Western employees and editors, and paying people, I'd estimate that a 3.5k-4k APC might just break even.
@annemscheel It's not how bad stats ed was, it is about performative academia now, is it not? This is not the most egregious analysis Haidt has performed by any stretch, and we can throw Peterson and a bunch of others in this pile.
Editor-in-Chief highlight of the week? Peer-review report for a protocol for testing automated data extraction tools. Really constructive, esp. on planned analysis methods - so often missing from protocols, and so easy to miss the missing as a reviewer. https://t.co/oGFRnX1Oq5
EBT is participating in what is probably the first-ever randomised controlled trial of an intervention to improve peer-review. It is... complicated, because it turns out running controlled trials in journals is just unbelievably difficult to do, but Noah has us covered.๐ค
