At #NDiSTEM in Ohio, #iSchoolUI Postdoc Janaynne Carvalho do Amaral and @prereview.bsky.social’s Daniela Saderi hosted a hands-on workshop on recognizing and interrupting bias in peer review. 💡📝

Last week, we continued improving our dataset review workflow and started prep for our all-hands retreat! We’ll prototype more matchmaking between community members and the reviews and requests that interest them most in Nov, as well. Learn more: content.prereview.org/prereview-pl...

Recently, we opened a public dashboard sharing frequently asked for stats from PREreview. You can check it out here: stats.prereview.org 👀 What other kinds of stats would you like to have? What other questions would you like to ask that might be addressed by this dashboard? We'd love to know

In addition to the interesting findings that the authors present about bibliometric reporting guidelines, the article also does a great job in showing the value of open peer review. This study illustrates why openness should be the default in peer review! @prereview.bsky.social #PublishYourReviews

✨ NEW on PREreview 🥁 You can now 📊 review datasets 📈 on PREreview.org beginning with datasets published on @datadryad.bsky.social. Read more: content.prereview.org/now-you-can-...

📣 This week we opened up our 📊 Public Data Dashboard to celebrate community members’ collective contributions to open peer #preprint review and to demonstrate PREreview’s growth and impact over the years. Check it out: stats.prereview.org Learn more: content.prereview.org/prereview-pl...

Did you know that our Open Reviewers Toolkit is now available in Portuguese (also in English and Spanish)? You can find these guides and more on our Resources page: prereview.org/resources Let us know your preference for what languages we should prioritize next here: forms.gle/KwL51vinhYCN...

@prereview.bsky.social is a great model for broadening participation in the review process!

September is well underway, and over here in the UK, where your PREreview newsletter author, @vanessafairhurst.bsky.social, lives, the change of the season is in the air. Wherever you are in the world, may this month bring you balance, renewal, and connection. content.prereview.org/prereview-se...

My colleague Joe Bondy-Denomy and I wrote a brief comment on the @brianhie.bsky.social @arcinstitute.org preprint on bacteriophage generation: prereview.org/reviews/1717... tldr: would be nice to have baselines of successful assembly+resistance from lightweight models to test importance of genAI!

Most researchers will #PeerReview, but few get formal training. Our Peer Review 101 workshop with @prereview.bsky.social gave practical tips to: 🔹Write clear, constructive reviews 🔹Reduce bias 🔹Build your profile through open #preprint review 🔗Watch it here: shorturl.at/ppyzf #OpenScience #PRW2025

Still time to join our collaborative Live Review this @peerreviewweek.bsky.social on Thursday 18th September at 3pm UTC in collaboration with @jmirpub.bsky.social More information & register here: bit.ly/sep18-LiveRe...

Hot off the heels of our what is a preprint video is our what is preprint peer review video! Featuring @prelights.bsky.social @prereview.bsky.social @reviewcommons.org, @elife.bsky.social & @peercommunityin.bsky.social #peerreview #preprint #scipub

🌱 Open science orgs are stronger together 💪 Together with @carpentries.carpentries.org, OLS , @ropensci.org, @pyopensci.org we are convening to move from Surviving → Thriving. Read how we’re charting a sustainable, collective path forward: content.prereview.org/from-survivi... #OpenScience

Today we responded to the NIH Request for Information on publication costs, peer review, and publishing best practices. Transformative change won’t come from simply shifting who pays fees—it will come from grassroots action and top-down reform of what we value & reward. zenodo.org/records/1710...

I'm at the #Pubmet2025 conference this week in Zagreb, Croatia. Looking forward to talking about all things open science and you catch me in this morning's session on Research Quality, Peer Review, and Assessment where I will be talking about our approach to peer review at @prereview.bsky.social!

This #PeerReviewWeek why not join a collaborative, Live Review, hosted by @prereview.bsky.social and @jmirpub.bsky.social? WHEN: Sep 18 at 15:00 UTC WHAT: A 90-minute collaborative discussion of this #preprint doi.org/10.1101/2025... WHERE: bit.ly/sep18-LiveRe... #PRW2025

There’s still time to join us and @jmirpub.bsky.social this Friday at 3pm UTC to review this #preprint collaboratively together (doi.org/10.48550/arX...) As always, you will have the option on how you would like to be credited for your participation. Sign up to join us here: bit.ly/Aug29-Live-R...

🚨 Call for contributions is open for #LatinR2025! 📅 The conference will be held online, December 1–5, 2025. You can submit proposals for: 💡 Lightning talks 🎤 Oral presentations 🛠️ Workshops 👉 Deadline: August 25 More info: latinr.org/blog/es/2025...

Check it out! If you're a preprint review service and would like to be added please get complete the linked form from the web page :) Hope this is useful

Join us for our next #livereview with @jmirpub.bsky.social on Aug 29, 2025 @ 15:00 UTC! We will be reviewing: 'The Reliability of LLMs for Medical Diagnosis: An Examination of Consistency, Manipulation, and Contextual Awareness.' DOI: doi.org/10.48550/arX... Register: bit.ly/Aug29-Live-R...

The @force11.bsky.social team is organizing a PREreview Club to review #metascience #preprints. They are currently looking for participants to commit at various levels to help start up the club. If that sounds like something you'd be interested in, read more: force11.org/post/organiz...

PREreview Co-Founder @neurosarda.bsky.social will be talking about #OpenAccess, #preprints, #OpenPeerReview, #PreprintReview, and our work at PREreview at the Open Science for Bioinformaticians 2025 hosted by Bioinformatics Outreach Nigeria, tomorrow! Slides & recording will be shared.

Plus services like @prereview.bsky.social which decouple the peer review process from journals altogether! HHMI has supported this model for many years (doi.org/10.1371/jour...), and we have some new ideas - can’t say more just yet 🙂

4) Encourage (& support) your ECRs to give talks (scientific and public) & to write (science pieces, opinion pieces, @prelights.bsky.social, public peer reviews @prereview.bsky.social). This raises their profile & gives them a portfolio for writing jobs. Provide these opportunities, they deserve it.

Junte-se a nós nesta quinta-feira, 14 de agosto, às 14h (horário do Brasil), para um webinar sobre Avaliação por pares de preprints com preprints do @scielo.org, organizado pela ABEC Brasil. Mais informações e como participar aqui: bit.ly/ABEC-webinar...

We can't dismiss #preprints just because they're not widely being reviewed!!!

Finally learning more about @prereview.bsky.social @neurosarda.bsky.social 's @hhmi.org important work at #metascience2025 Starting with an equity lens: #PeerReview is inequitable/unsustainable. Reviewer pool is small, homogeneous, and have never received formal training.

@prereview.bsky.social is doing this kind of training -- including bias training and self awareness -- in a way that really makes sense (to me - SR here). Partners like #TCCAfrica @elife.bsky.social @hhmi.org speak to how effective/useful this work is. #PeerReview #academicSky #metascience2025

Are you at #Metascience2025? Come and chat with me during lunch and the poster session this evening about all things open, preprint peer review! You can also find my poster on Zenodo here: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... @prereview.bsky.social #peerreview #metascience #inclusivityinpeerreview

We have an open call with @continuous.foundation for a Modular Style Peer Review Working Group to: 🌻 Co-create practical models for reviewing non-traditional outputs 🌻 Build trust without gatekeeping 🌻 Design review processes that reflect researcher needs Join us: continuousfoundation.org/peer-form
