I am a huge fan of bioRxiv & medRxiv and Review Commons and I recently spoke with @saramonaco-rc.bsky.social about why. For us, the workflow has been simple and effective:

What happens if editors invite postdocs as referees? We have shown that we get rigorous, timely, high-quality reviews, and finally give young scientists the recognition they deserve. I’m proud to have contributed to this initiative with @reviewcommons.org, @embopress.org, @embo.org and @embl.org

It was a very cool experiment! The author-centric perspective makes a lot of sense. An important next step is to benchmark multiple AI review platforms. Maybe this can also pave the way for benchmarking human peer review across journals and defining "quality features" of the peer review process.

Great discussion and excellent engagement from participants in this pilot to involve ECRs in peer review. A very promising start for this initiative at @embopress.org and @reviewcommons.org. Thanks to all the postdocs for the the enthusiasm and thoughtful contributions.

One of the important benefits of @reviewcommons.org is having a peer-reviewed preprint, which to an increasing number of funders counts as a published paper @embo.org Saves important time for trainees to have their work recognized.

Next, at #EYSF2025 @reviewcommons.org is presented by @saramonaco-rc.bsky.social. It’s journal-agnostic, concentrates on science only and can save time as the peer-reviewed preprints can easily be resubmitted. How great would it be if we could ditch publishing and switch to reviewed preprints?
