This episode auto-played after an @ologies.bsky.social episode and now I’m very excited about @jamesheathers.bsky.social’s new Medical Evidence Project! Too bad metascience doesn’t have an -ology name.

Here is an interesting project, which - if it finds its way to the right people - has the potential to legitimately help improve public health. The approach to broadcasting the outcomes sounds a bit scary, but ultimately I think it's probably right 1/ #ScientificPublishing #ResearchIntegrity

Studies about paying peer reviewers!
190: What happens when you pay reviewers? everythinghertz.com/190

We chat about two new studies that evaluated the impact of paying reviewers on peer review speed and quality.

One of these studies had such massive effects on peer-review speed we had to double-take the figure.

Great to catch up with @wiringthebrain.bsky.social during his visit to Oslo!

I haven’t managed to meet many @everythinghertz.com guests in person but it’s always nice when this can happen

189: Crit me baby, one more time everythinghertz.com/189

We discuss a recent piece that proposes a *post-publication* peer review process, which is triggered by citation counts. We also cover how an altmetric trigger could be used for a more immediate post-publication critique

Friends, I have written you a book on forensic metascience.

It is free. You can have it. Happy St. Valentine's Day.

If you wish to give me a gift back, you can use it to cause trouble - the greatest gift of all.

Strong start to 2025 from Everything Hertz #ScientificPublishing though did feel attacked towards the end there (is difficult if you're catty and occasionally mean)
We just released a new @hertzpodcast.bsky.social episode, in which we discuss a recent editorial on double-blind peer reviews. The editorial also covers the benefits of open peer review reports, which some people are against for what I think are unconvincing reasons everythinghertz.com/188

Our patrons get access to our bonus episodes (74 to date!), in which we share the bits that don't make our main episodes.

In our latest bonus ep, we talk about how we edit episodes and the time James went to a hair salon because his hair was too long for a barber www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-...
