We're trying to build a future where authors control when their work is shared, and where the evaluation of science is divorced from its publication, making it richer and transparent.

This is a great article, but I would like to see stats by area/editor. Based on my experience and on that of many other colleagues working in #morphogenesis and #organogenesis, I do see many excellent papers that do not even get reviewed in @dev-journal.bsky.social and end up published elsewhere
The hard truth about how hard it is to publish in Development
Editor-in-Chief @jamesbriscoe.bsky.social leads our team of Academic Editors in addressing the perception that Development is ‘too hard to publish in’ by discussing the journal's review process.

This is an excellent comment by @giorgio.gilest.ro on the emerging possibility of AI peer review
“The noise in human peer reviews is crucial because it arises from the variability in human experience and practical knowledge — two features that no model’s training corpus can fully capture,” writes Giorgio F. Gilestro in Nature about the introduction of AI peer reviews. #Academicsky 🧪
AI reviewers are here — we are not ready
Artificial intelligence promises rapid and polite feedback on papers — but we must first review the reviewer.
