I'm very proud that #RSOS from @royalsocietypublishing.org is the venue in which this thought-provoking perspective has been published. Well worth a read if you're interested in the #research and #journal #publishing landscapes.
The number of low-quality or fraudulent publications is rising to hundreds of thousands per year. It is time to reevaluate current publishing models and outline a global plan. Read the 'Reformation of science publishing: the Stockholm Declaration': royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/... #RSOS 🧪

Development is lots of 'figuring things out'!

But, how do we understand relationships as infants transition away from play🙃? Is play a precursor to other social behaviors, or is proximity or contact🤗 more reflective of partner choice?
