Are any profs using #preprints to teach grad students how to do #peer_review? If so, are any profs encouraging students to submit their reviews to open-peer-review journals?

These Qs were prompted by this good article on a slightly different topic.

Update. Here's a recommendation to try it with undergrad students. +1.

Update. Here's another recommendation to try it with undergrad students.

Update. Here's an article recommending that that universities teach peer review. But it doesn't mention #preprints.

Update. "Peer reviewing preprints would guarantee young researchers some concrete outputs that illustrate their ability to critique work, write about science and discuss subjects outside their immediate focus of research."

Update. More on using #preprints to teach #peerreview to undergrad students.


"Undergraduates can and should be trained in peer review to foster the interrelated development of their scientific literacy, scientific identity & sense of belonging in science.journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jm…
Update. "18 medical students enrolled in a peer review training course…where they served as actual peer reviewers for the Canadian Medical Education Journal. This presented a rare opportunity…to address a well-recognized gap in teaching peer review."

1/ This is big. @WHOSTP is calling on all federal research funding agencies to adopt #openaccess policies. If they already have OA policies, they must strengthen them to meet the new guidelines. I'll add some summary points in a thread below.
2/ Here's the new (8/25/22) @WHOSTP memorandum.
whitehouse.gov/wp-content/upl…

It updates and strengthens a 2013 @WHOSTP memorandum from the Obama White House. For background, here's the 2013 memo.
obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/sites/default/…
3/ TLDR. Here are the four biggest changes:
* No more embargoes. New policies must require immediate or unembargoed OA.
* New policies must cover data too.
* All fed funding agencies must now adopt policies, not just the largest ones.
* The new policies are all green.

Here are some of my questions, concerns, and comments about Musk and Twitter.
* He wants to add an edit button. Good; me too.


But for now that's all I can say on the plus side.
* He hates spam bots. Good. But what about useful bots, like @oatp?


Press coverage blurs the distinction between spam & non-spam bots. I'm sure today's T employees understand the difference. But does Musk himself? What about the next wave of T employees?

1/ I'd put this historically. "Gold OA" originally meant OA delivered by journals regardless of the journal's business model. Both fee-based and no-fee OA journals were gold, as opposed to "green OA", which meant OA delivered by repositories.
2/ Over time, some referred to fee-based gold as "gold" without qualification. That was sloppy, like referring to complex carbs as "carbs" without qualification. Sometimes we need adjectives to resolve ambiguity.
3/ Complex carbs are carbs. But "carbs" (without a qualifying adjective) doesn't unambiguously denote complex carbs. Sloppiness would become error if "carbs" came to mean complex carbs alone & exclude simple carbs. This is what happened to "gold OA". Sloppiness became error.

Update. Publishers may choose English because it's a lingua franca for science, intelligible to a larger audience. Or they may do it to increase their #JIF. (And of course the two motives may be related.) Research from Brazil.

Update. Confirmation that writing outside your native language (unless you are extremely proficient) triggers linguistic bias from native speakers.

1/ Update. Most email solicitations from predatory journals use weak English. This study confirms my experience.

Update. "Women submitted proportionally fewer manuscripts [to Elsevier journals] than men during the COVID-19 lockdown months. This deficit was especially pronounced among women in more advanced stages of their career."

Is there a crowd-sourced site collecting #COVID19 stories? How is the experience really affecting people? I've already heard several that I don't think most of us would have expected. I'd love to read a growing collection. It would also document the human side of the crisis.
Here's one.

But it only collects stories of kindness. That's worth doing. But I'm interested in stories of all kinds, stories reflecting the full range of our experiences of the pandemic.
Here's a survey asking people how the pandemic is affecting their lives. That's worth doing. But I'm interested in stories that might not fit into survey boxes, and I'm interested in the stories themselves, not just a summary or analysis.
