💥 Sidaction est devenue Sidération.

Parce que la baisse de l’aide publique au développement (APD) met en danger des millions de vies.

📉 Moins d’APD, c’est moins de prévention, moins de soins, moins d’accès à la santé.

"Most preprints could be of near-equal value to peer-reviewed journal articles before any revisions are made to them. Current forms of peer review create significant delays for seemingly marginal gains."
I share most of the points expressed in this opinion article
georgealfredcurrie.bsky.social George Currie @georgealfredcurrie.bsky.social · May 19
Does publishing serve science or is science serving publishing?

Damian Pattinson and I (@elife.bsky.social) argue scientific publishing has evolved into a system that, rather than facilitate scholarly communication, distorts and dictates it.

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

#OpenScience
Screenshot of article summary of: Toward Science-Led Publishing by Damian Pattinson, George Currie published as an opinion piece, in Learned Publishing Summary The current dynamic of scholarly publishing prioritises the wants of the publishing industry over the needs of the research community. This article explores this theme through the lens of ‘publisher-led science’ as a description of our current status quo, and through ‘science-led publishing’ as an improved future state. We argue that financial motivations central to most publishing distort how research is presented, how it is assessed and even what research is undertaken, leading to a system that hinders, rather than facilitates, scientific progress. We propose three elements of a science-led publishing approach that would accelerate research communication, incentivise collaboration between authors, editors and reviewers, and create a more transparent and equitable research landscape. We believe that research funding and research assessment are two of the primary levers for wider change in research and research culture and consider the future purpose of scholarly publishing in a world where these proposals have been widely adopted.
