So many good points in this piece by

My highlight in this screenshot (#science delivery & success is a TEAM effort!), but if you're vaguely involved in #academia +/- #bioinformatics, do have a read and think how it all may apply to you. #academicchatter @academicchatter

The two cultures of bioinformatics

i ramble about bioinformatics careers

^{Hello! Welcome!}

Happy to say I defended my dissertation "Methods and complexity in phage-bacteria ecology and evolution"!

Much thanks to all those who supported me throughout my PhD.

I'm glad to be sticking around the Turner Lab for another year as a post-doc to continue my work on multispecies phage-bacteria communities

Today @eLife has reached 1,000 manuscript submissions using the new model, Reviewed Preprints elifesciences.org/about/peer-r…

See all published Reviewed Preprints elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre…

Within themes, #eLife makes no distinction between old-style articles (where editors decided whether a manuscript is accepted) and reviewed preprints (where authors decide instead). Keep in mind both have the reviews attached, including as of recently a brief assessment paragraph summarizing, with a controlled vocabulary, the significance of findings and, more importantly, the strength of evidence.

See the subset of #eLife publications tagged as #neuroscience elifesciences.org/subjects/neu…

Reviewed Preprints

Preprints that have been invited for review by eLife are published as Reviewed Preprints and include an eLife assessment, public reviews and a response from the authors (if available).

For anyone on the fence about #eLife's new publishing model, note there is no such thing as an "eLife paper", since the purpose of the review process in scientific publishing is to provide accurate, constructive reviews to authors. In modern times, dissemination doesn't depend on mailed-in printed periodicals.

Each eLife publication has an evaluation attached to it in the form of an assessment–be it negative or positive. Critically, authors decide whether to go forward with assessments as they are and go public, or to revise the manuscript and request re-review to improve both the manuscript and, consequently, the reviews and assessment.

In other words, nothing changed, except, it's the authors who decide how to move forward with their own manuscript, rather than the editors.

Over on the bird site they're talking about how MDPI journals have been added to the list of "predatory" journals.

What do you think?

#academia #AcademicChatter #academic #science #publishing #PeerReview

• About time! All MDPI journals are "predatory" (57%, 26 votes)
• Mmm, only some MDPI journals are "predatory" (20%, 9 votes)
• MDPI journals are iffy, but not fully "predatory" (20%, 9 votes)
• MDPI journals are fine! (2%, 1 vote)

Hi! #introduction ! I'm a #phd student in #chemistry ! I study #nanoparticle #liquidcrystal self-assembly, which has implications in our understandings of #biology nanostructures, #materials chemistry, and #nanotechnology

I’ve been #scicomm ing my #research on #twitch - I'm developing #3dprinting inks from seaweed and other #biomaterials !

I interview scientists weekly, so if you're interested, let me know! I’d love to have you

Amazingly, I am a part of an article submission today and a resubmission this week.

Neither article is my area of expertise, per se, but I made substantial contributions to both and learned a lot.

It's a great reminder that #science is a team sport. It's better and more productive to work together!
