Nice! Check it out!! 🙏
Can feedback on your manuscript take minutes?
That’s the idea behind qed science, an AI platform lets scientists upload manuscripts and receive instant, transparent feedback.
Qed also announced a partnership with BioRxiv, connecting preprints to real-time review.

A fantastic and revolutionary initiative! Thanks @odedrechavi.bsky.social
The idea is to decouple the journals from the review step. They’ll still exist, but they’ll need to add other value. They’ll highlight, curate, add new perspectives. If they do a good job they can still be prestigious (like Scientific American or Wired) (1.2) 👇

Q.E.D. is fun to use and educational to reflect!
Would you consider adding a ChatBot in the interface so that we can interact with the critiques?
Thanks for creating such an amazing tool! 👏👏

This has always seemed to me to be an obvious no-brainer. Journals controlling the review process is such a hangover from Victorian gentlemen's clubs, and it feels that great papers get published *in spite* of the system, rather than because of it.

Totally agree and had been proposing this for a while. Time to join forces and make this happen?

Good journals (and good editors), and there are plenty that I love, do much more than peer review

Many scientists (including me) have viewed AI review warily. But responses to trials of qed have been very positive. I was impressed with its output, which was developed by iteration with a large number of human reviewers. 3/n

Do we really still need scientific journals when BiorXiv + the community + q.e.d. evaluate, filter and provide constructive feedback on a #preprint in order to strengthen and improve the message?
#IMHO, this is really a question worth asking.

I used this for the 1st time today on a paper we are about to submit. It’s great! It found gaps in our claims that I had not thought of. Although some of the suggested experiments are way hard and labor-intensive, it suggests prose to address the gaps in the discussion. The future has arrived.
