For the past few months, I've seen our new model of collaborative peer model at @stacksjournal exceed all expectations.

Discussions among reviewers, transparency, & an average of 6.2 reviewers/article.

It's exciting to see researchers come together to fix scientific publishing.

#NewPaper : Working with a huge team of 220 co-authors representing 102 projects in 21 countries, we analyzed data from 5400 #cameratraps to ask how #wildlife behaviours changed during the COVID-19 “anthropause” nature.com/articles/s4155… ..1/

All reviewers recommended revisions but the paper is rejected?

It’s time to fix scientific publishing.

Mule deer are in long term decline and we don't know why. Joel Ruprecht mined the literature to find 722 estimates across 8 vital rates. Using these vital rates and their correlation structure, he ran a life stage simulation analysis to see which most explain population growth /1

I was considering submitting a paper to Nature Ecology and Evolution, then I saw that the open access fee was 12 THOUSAND dollars! What the actual crap!? I can do a lot of research for 12k. Charging authors 12 grand to publish THEIR OWN work is the craziest nonsense imaginable
