Nature Sci Rep publishes incoherent AI slop. eLife publishes a paper which the reviewers didn't agree with, making all the comments and responses public with thoughtful commentary. One of these journals got delisted by Web of Science for quality concerns from not doing peer review. Guess which one?
Two posts from Bluesky. The first one shows a figure from a paper published in Nature Scientific Reports full of totally incoherent AI fabricated gibberish words. The other a comment on a recently published paper by eLife discussing the paper and its peer reviews which were published along with the paper.

Not at scale. I agree an institutionalised approach would be more successful. It’s been a slog to get ORCID where it is today but they’ve got good adoption so an integration could give it the secure/verified aspect it currently lacks (VERIME is run by the people who started ORCID which helps).

not approved or in limbo! The Catch 22 is trying do something different but having to succumb to the rules of journal world. PRC is better than ‘Review then Publish’, however I think genuine reform comes when you unshackle from the conventions and focus on fitting out not fitting in!

The major difference to F1000R is you could take a reviewed preprint elsewhere & choose not to be ‘validated’. By having the journal publish just the ‘validated’ articles means BPC could get indexed fully by WoS. F1000R can’t be indexed in WoS due to publishing content that is approved,
