NEW POST: NIH explores capping APCs: Let’s look at the evidence! We used data of NIH funded from 2025, and found that APCs for a few as 7% journals (or 6% of papers) would be fully covered by a $2K cap, 25% of journals (or 21% of papers) by a $3K cap. Read more! www.scholcommlab.ca/2025/09/03/n...

Peer Review Congress #PRC11 Coming 2029! @peerreviewcongress.bsky.social · 03/09/2025

In a non-randomized comparison of published (open) vs unpublished #PeerReview from 233 @ElsevierNews @SpringerNature journals 2016-2021, open reviews were longer (median 22 vs 17 sentences) & had higher information scores (0.52 vs 0.46) @mariomalicki.bsky.social @squazzoni.bsky.social #OpenScience

Women’s reports had a higher information score than men’s reports (difference, 6.3%), and reviewers from non-Western institutions had lower scores than those from Western institutions (difference, −6.0%).

Open peer review reports were longer than traditional unpublished reports, with the greatest differences found in the number of suggestion and solution sentences. These results suggest that increasing the transparency of peer review could lead to more detailed reports that focus on manuscript improvement.

Presented at @humboldtuni.bsky.social IBI Research Seminar today to introduce the #ScholCommLab and of course I used some bibliometric networks to demonstrate our collaborations and knowledge base..

Co-authorship network based on 194 works published by lab members 2017-2025. Node size reflects number of works, edges represents collaboration strength. Node color signals (former) lab membership.

Bibliographic coupling network of 194 works published by lab members 2017-2025. Node size reflects number of citations, edges represents bibliographic strength. Node color signals cluster affiliation.
