Review: Public reviews inform wider discussion of research
Curate: Community recommendations

Does publishing serve science or is science serving publishing?
Damian Pattinson and I (@elife.bsky.social) argue scientific publishing has evolved into a system that, rather than facilitate scholarly communication, distorts and dictates it.
