Have you heard about PCI Psychology (or another PCI, like PCI Registered Reports) but are not really sure how it works? This video is a good introduction www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PZh... but we'd love to hear your questions! Please reply to this thread and repost for reach!

Well done Historical Biology! 🥳 doi.org/10.1080/0891...

Last Friday, we published the 500th article of Peer Community Journal! 🥳

We'd like to thank @pci-hms.bsky.social for this review process on this opinion letter. Being able to get a pre-print reviewed, without paying APC #diamondopenaccess + having a recommendation that highlights the main findings is a real treat!

New peer-reviewed #preprint by Florent Lebon @flebon.bsky.social & Cécilia Neige: Superficial layers in M1 and beyond: Neural evidence of cortical and spinal activation during imagined movements ube.hal.science/hal-05107400v2 doi.org/10.24072/pci...

📣 Save the date for the 12th PCI webinar on September 18, 2025, at 4 PM CET!! Dorothy Bishop (@deevybee.bsky.social) will present "Editors matter: How negligent publishers subvert quality control in scientific publishing ". For more details and registration, visit:

Rethinking where and how we publish in health sciences doi.org/10.51224/SRX...

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!

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.

You can now watch the recording of Brandon Stell's PCI webinar! ⏯️ Check it out here youtu.be/PXshwcUmTog?...

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 #PsychSciSky #scipub

Here is how PCI is elevating the standards for open and reproducible science: introducing 4 already-existing and 2 new features 🧵👇 #OpenScience #Reproducibility

Now published in Peer Community Journal, #Health and #Movement Sciences section: Active without thinking? Distinguishing between automatic responses as predictors of physical activity

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! Two (unpaid) positions open: 1. Treasurer 2. General Board Member

New peer-reviewed #preprint: A novel robotic reaching task to advance the assessment of approach-avoidance tendencies through kinematic analysis, by Park K & @matthieuboisgontier.com (2025). Recommended by @tarkeshsingh.bsky.social doi.org/10.24072/pci...

Now published in Peer Community Journal, #Health and #Movement Sciences section: Improved accuracy of the whole body Center of Mass position through Kalman filtering

Just noticed that @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social now clearly indicates when a preprint has undergone peer review—this is fantastic! Look at this! 🎉👏

New peer-reviewed #preprint: Ciochoń A, Balwicki L, ... Galbarczyk A, Marcinkowska UM (2025) Cigarette smoke exposure as a potential risk factor for sleep problems in pregnant women. Recommended by Escriva-Boulley G. Reviewed by Maltagliati S, Florian Chouchou F, Chaput JP. doi.org/10.24072/pci...

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🤩!

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.

Now published in Peer Community Journal, #Health and #Movement Sciences section: Structural Vulnerability Factors and Gestational Weight Gain: A Scoping Review on the Extent, Range, and Nature of the Literature

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!

A warm welcome to the 18th Peer Community In: PCI Nutrition 🎉🥳

If your research is supported by one of these funders, your article published in 𝐏𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 @peercomjournal.bsky.social can be referenced in 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐌𝐞𝐝. Simply follow these steps: osf.io/9xamk. We tried it, and it works: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov?term=Peer+Co...

Looking for a free peer review of your manuscript? Send it to us! healthmovsci.peercommunityin.org/user/new_sub... Here's a look at the robust work that other researchers have already trusted us to improve & recommend.

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: www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0Gg... 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? healthmovsci.peercommunityin.org/PCIHealthMov... #sensorimotor #neuroskyence

🚨 Exciting news! 🚨 On Nov 19th & 20th, we published our 10th & 11th preprint recommendations! 🥳👏 Join us in shaping the future of #OpenScience, submit your preprint today & get it peer-reviewed transparently & for free!

If you want a more affordable publishing system, you should prioritize the review of preprints with us 🙂

PCI Psychology is a bold new effort seeking to improve peer review by separating it from journals and the publication process. Join us by signing up here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Once your preprint is peer-reviewed & recommended by us, if you decide to submit to a journal that is not @peercomjournal.bsky.social, please be sure to cite the @peercommunityin.bsky.social recommendation with its DOI to acknowledge our contribution & to make readers aware of the PCI initiative.

Very timely piece demonstrating the utility of Bayesian meta-analysis to update prior knowledge in health & movement science by Corcoran and @jamessteeleii.bsky.social. #SportScience

Really great to see this recommended in @pci-hms.bsky.social after all Hannah's hard work. Also a great review process with @mbieleke.bsky.social and the other reviewer really helping improve and tighten up the manuscript, thanks! 🙏

Hello Bluesky! We're a non-gouvernemental and non business organisation (peercommunityin.org). We manage a platform hosting scientific communities evaluating and recommending scientific articles posted in open archives and preprint servers in their field, for free.

Peer Community Journal (PCJ) is looking for people to help with article copyediting. Contact them if you are interested: [email protected]

We currently have 8 preprints under review. Keep them coming!
