@ludowaltman.bsky.social argues, at the @royalsociety.org, that we are dealing with challenges around the curation of scholarly publications, but the main challenge for the future is about developing meaningful dialogues, where the focus moves partially from peer review to more peer engagement.

Having spent the week discussing metascience, I was struck by this @samfr.bsky.social piece on metapolitics. In both arenas it is important to attend to language (& rhetoric) so that the origin & extent of system problems can be properly identified & addressed. open.substack.com/pub/samf/p/b...
