Looking into #ScienceAdvances as a journal to publish in..
Why is there a reference limit, and why is it so low (80 references)? In this day and age? For an online-only journal?

By the way the tools available nowadays for discovering scientific literature are remarkable. Two examples:
#SemanticScholar lists actually related and interesting papers:

And so does #Sciety @sciety but offering a different set of related papers:

Cognitive hyperplasticity drives insomnia
Sleep is vital for maintenance of cognitive functions and lifespan across the animal kingdom. Here, we report our surprising findings that insomniac ( inc ) Drosophila short sleep mutants, which lack a …Sciety
I like seeing preprints as "works in progress”. Here the authors appeal to any readers who might be able to contribute to their study.
![The analysis of barcode yields across different reagents, based on re-exported live-singlets, is also novel. Comparing the
performance of the myriad combinations of barcode and sample source is not frequent in the literature, and it behooves
the community to have a more complete picture of the advantages and disadvantages of these methods. [note to
preprint readers - if you are willing to share non-debarcoded data and a debarcoding key, please reach out! We are
hoping to expand the data in the barcode comparison plot in Figure 4! Many thanks to those who already provided

MIT dropped its contract with Elsevier, the huge scientific journal company. Their library instead arranged alternate access to journals and tools for researchers to get them. They’re saving $2 million/year:

See all published Reviewed Preprints https://elifesciences.org/reviewed-preprints
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.

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).eLife
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.
