The selfish scientist’s guide to preprint posting
Benefits and costs to the authors of posting preprints as a function of the time of posting.
Are more retractions due to more scrutiny?
The question has actually been addressed in the scientific literature and the data don’t seem to support this assumption.
A critical view of altmetrics
Altmetrics is one of the hotly debated topics in the Open Science movement today.
Is DIY really just for the scholarly poor?
Every cutting-edge science by definition has to be DIY. The super-resolution microscopes for which this year’s Nobel was awarded couldn’t be bought in a store: Betzig, Hell, Moerner and colleagues had to build them themselves.
Three Case Studies
This paper presents three case studies describing the use of altmetrics across three research-intensive higher education institutions in the UK and USA.
The R-factor: A measure of scientific veracity
We propose to use the R-factor, a metric that indicates whether a report or its conclusions have been verified.
Open letter to the AAAS
A number of suggestions for the new AAAS open access journal Science Advances.
Real peer to peer review
The Winnower is another open access online science publishing platform that employs open post-publication peer review, aiming to revolutionize science by breaking down the barriers to scientific communication through cost-effective and transparent publishing for scientists.
