And here it is, our first accepted manuscript at Evidence-Based Toxicology, a new open-science journal for environmental health research.
Evidence-Based Toxicology@EBTJournal

Big News: We have accepted our first manuscript at EBT - a protocol for the development of INVITES-IN, a tool for assessing the internal validity of in vitro studies. Accepted preprint here: zenodo.org/record/7899720 and reviewer assessment reports are here zenodo.org/record/7899720

@aemonten There are ways of making PRC compatible with Clarivate's current requirements for JIF (and I'm not sure why eLife are being so stubborn about it). Of course, Clarivate could be a bit more bloody flexible as well, so I dare say a solution will be found.

What are the implications of such decision for the PRC (Publish Review Curate) model? Will journals planning on implementing such approach change their course?

@aemonten Merits of this decision to one side, what I want to know is, who made Clarivate King of the Journals?

@JamesSteeleII That's very confusing. My journal requires submitting authors to have a "registered" preprint of a manuscript so there is a permanent public record of the manuscript they sent to use for evaluation - but that's not what is happening here, is it?

@dieworkwear For better or worse, this is a fabric and colour combo which attempts to follow @dieworkwear advice off the peg and on a tight budget. You are correct that the shirt does not fit very well and I struggle with tying a tie. :))))

I've addressed this many times and have been reluctant to use people's videos, as they're often made by regular people who are just trying to have fun. But this is a famous content creator with 1M followers, so I feel better about showing why this doesn't work. 🧵

@RodWhiteley @jamesheathers Unless you are doing alphanumeric ordering for dates in which case obviously YYYY-MM-DD is the one true religion. You can send me my gifts and cards on 2024-11-14. (I will allow underscores.)

@albertobaccini @PredatoryReport Exactly. I am a director of a non-profit company and we are required to hold assets that would allow us to continue as a going concern during downturns in business. If our expenditure was around the 30 million mark (I wish!) we would want to retain 10-20% of that.

@PredatoryReport The notion of a not-for-profit company depends on the law, not on your opinion. It does not mean zero assets! PLOS is not-profit. In 2022 it has $34 mil in APC revenues and spends $28.6 mil for publishing. If you don't like that, you cannot claim that not-profit is the solution.

About Plos One being a "non-profit" PLOS Biology: Research Article $5,500 Short Reports $5,500 Update Article $3,150 🤡 PLOS Medicine: Research Article $6,300 Do you believe they spend that money to publish a PDF online? Plus, they had almost $26 million in assets in 2022. 🤑

@PredatoryReport @aemonten I'm not defending any particular pricing model, but we need to recognise there is a lot more in scientific publishing than posting a PDF online. If you are working with Western employees and editors, and paying people, I'd estimate that a 3.5k-4k APC might just break even.

@annemscheel It's not how bad stats ed was, it is about performative academia now, is it not? This is not the most egregious analysis Haidt has performed by any stretch, and we can throw Peterson and a bunch of others in this pile.

I genuinely struggle to understand how you can be a tenured psychology professor and think you can “reanalyse” a meta-analysis by literally averaging the included effects. Is this just how bad stats education was pre 2011?

Editor-in-Chief highlight of the week? Peer-review report for a protocol for testing automated data extraction tools. Really constructive, esp. on planned analysis methods - so often missing from protocols, and so easy to miss the missing as a reviewer. zenodo.org/records/133671…

EBT is participating in what is probably the first-ever randomised controlled trial of an intervention to improve peer-review. It is... complicated, because it turns out running controlled trials in journals is just unbelievably difficult to do, but Noah has us covered.🤘

@aemonten This is why Gates Foundation is setting up its own preprint server, is it not?

Ashley asks whether authors feel they get what they pay for when paying APCs. I ask, do funders? If this was just about access to the work done by a fundee, a preprint requirement would be enough. And could be achieved by a lot less money.
Alejandro Montenegro@aemonten

@ashleydfarley In may cases, they did, just by feeling they complied with funder/institutional mandate. Another key question, however, is, did the funder? Do they feel they got what they paid for, which could have been achieved with a preprint policy? :)
