We'd like to thank @pci-hms.bsky.social for this review process on this opinion letter. Being able to get a pre-print reviewed, without paying APC #diamondopenaccess + having a recommendation that highlights the main findings is a real treat!

remarkable to me how much of (my) #sips2025 was about publishing reform, but how totally absent that has been from #metascience2025 (indeed, the very opposite with an elsevier VP joining a keynote panel)

go submit to @psych.peercommunityin.org folks!

We are looking for new recommenders to join Peer Community in Genomics! The position of “recommender” is analogous to an associate editor at a traditional journal. However, recommenders are not obliged to handle any manuscripts.

On this... if anyone feels they have expertise and want to review this recent preprint let me know and I'll put your name forward to the recommender. It's currently being handled @pci-hms.bsky.social and suggestions for reviewers would help them out a lot.

There are now 19 thematic PCIs but many disciplines remain to be covered! We are therefore making a call for the creation of new thematic PCIs and giving some information on how to start:
