Apply for support in converting your journal club to a preprint review club

Traditional journal clubs are present in most labs and departments bringing together early career researchers to discuss and review a chosen article. These groups effectively perform peer review but often don't share the comments with the authors.

Yes, the ex-publishers have essentially reversed the net flow of information: it used to flow from them to us, through the journals. Now we provide them with our data and that's where the real gold is found:

All #OpenScience discussions need to engage with the absolutely fantastic discussion in @sabinaleonelli 's discussion of open science from a process rather than an object perspective. Insightful and highly recommended.

In it she argues for a new perspective on openness "conceptualized not as primarily about sharing resources but rather as primarily fostering meaningful communication between the humans involved in research".
