Thank you for writing this post! I’ve been fired up about all the ways the scientific publishing system is hilariously broken for years, but didn’t realize peer review was started as a way for the magazines themselves to garner more clout. Also, appreciate the use of the term ‘magazines’ for CNS— we should call them that more often haha. More accurate, and a nice way to continue to chisel away at the prestige. 😅
Hi Elliot, this article reminded me of a post by Alex Danco: https://danco.substack.com/p/can-twitter-save-science
Thought you might find it interesting. Glad we're taking steps to move away from the current system which is wrong on so many levels!
