Always great to see peer review experiments with actual data. SolvingForScience distinguish Quality (Q) & Impact (I) scores for papers. Q scores are based on a peer-improvement phase, followed by an I assessment by a different group. Unsurprisingly I varies more than Q 1/2

Another record month for bioRxiv - and further evidence the pandemic spike+dip was just that and growth continues. Thanks to all involved and that includes 🫵

that's exactly the response I give to people who complain and you are right. I suspect the sentiment stems from the idea that predatory journals are more likely to contact preprint authors than journal authors becasue the paper is still gettable. Remember this

And look further down. should biorxiv have signed these authors up for something that would result in almost 500 email notifications, expecting them to read the bit about having to opt out (note people never read anything & we constantly have to tell them about stuff they've already been told)?

hmm - I think one can lament a lack of commenting but not think that it's because authors aren't signing up for notifications
