Peer Community in Health & Movement Sciences

remarkable to me how much of (my) #sips2025 was about publishing reform, but how totally absent that has been from #metascience2025 (indeed, the very opposite with an elsevier VP joining a keynote panel)

go submit to @psych.peercommunityin.org folks!

Reclaiming academic ownership of the scholarly communication system EUA - European University Association

A very important document by the European University Association, which clearly outlines the current challenges in scholarly communication and highlights ways to move forward! You can access it at: www.eua.eu/publications...

We're pleased to announce the University of Cambridge as a new supporter of PCI! We greatly appreciate their endorsement of our open, transparent, and community-driven peer review model.

PubPeer was created in 2012 to facilitate the correction of science and accelerate the convergence of ideas through open, public discussion. By focusing on t... PCI Webinar - Brandon Stell - Elevating Scientific Standards: Community-Driven Assessment on PubPeer

This great editorial clearly explains the Peer Community In (PCI) initiative. It’s from @psych.peercommunityin.org, but it applies to all PCI communities: doi.org/10.31234/osf...

We are looking for new recommenders to join Peer Community in Genomics! The position of “recommender” is analogous to an associate editor at a traditional journal. However, recommenders are not obliged to handle any manuscripts.

PCI Psychology is here!! 🎉🥳

After over a year of hard work by so many people, we are thrilled to announce that we are open for submissions! Join us in making publishing more efficient, equitable, and open: psych.peercommunityin.org

The Queen Mary University of London is now supporting PCI and wrote a very nice post about it 😍 !

On this... if anyone feels they have expertise and want to review this recent preprint let me know and I'll put your name forward to the recommender. It's currently being handled @pci-hms.bsky.social and suggestions for reviewers would help them out a lot.

At the Free Journal Network (freejournals.org), we curate a community of free-to-read and free-to-publish journals. We need your help!

Here are some 2024 highlights of PCI and Peer Community Journal.📊 Grateful to everyone who contributed to this success🦸. We're excited and prepared for an amazing 2025🤩!

Call for the creation of new PCIs - Peer Community In Here is the list of the different Peer Communities In already created, hosting recommendations and peer-reviews of preprints and ready to receive your submissions

There are now 19 thematic PCIs but many disciplines remain to be covered! We are therefore making a call for the creation of new thematic PCIs and giving some information on how to start:

New peer-reviewed #preprint by Charlotte Le Mouel: Improved accuracy of the whole body Center of Mass position through Kalman filtering. Recommended by @jvandieen.bsky.social based on reviews by Guillaume Durandeau, @maartenafschrift.bsky.social, and 1 anonymous reviewer: doi.org/10.24072/pci...

Brave decision by JHE Editorial Board.
Hopefully there are transparent, open and even free initiatives out there for human evolution scientific publications.

PCI is featured on the website of the Welch Medical Library at Johns Hopkins University😍

Sharing data along with an article is important for transparency/repro. A nice consequency is that it allows teachers to propose interesting examples to students for improving/assessing data analysis skills. So thanks to Communications in Kinesiology & @pci-hms.bsky.social for their policies!

Here's a look at the robust work that other researchers have already trusted us to improve & recommend.

PCI webinar- Leigh-Ann Butler -How much is too much? Estimating APCs and questioning sustainability First, the serials crisis strained academic budgets; now it’s article processing charges (APCs). It is time to learn from the past and focus on the data: APC...

Yesterday we enjoyed listening to Leigh-Ann Butler's talk on "How much is too much? Estimating APCs and questioning sustainability", and the Q&A session. If you missed it, no worries, you can find it, along with other PCI webinars, on our Youtube channel!

2 billion US$ a year for APCs. Sigh.

Go watch the talk:

I can't believe that we support & sustain this prestige system insanity. I also don't understand why we don't talk about this more, and act.

There are solutions:
Peer Community In and diamond open access.

Just found this pretty cool study by skyless Barbusse, peer-review @pci-hms.bsky.social and recommended by @drannek.bsky.social. How do we adapt our movements to changes in force-fields?
