It’s finally here! The Discovery Stack Pilot results are in and the paper is live on bioRxiv. Check out Reimagining Peer Review: A Novel Framework for Evaluating Scientific Discovery, and get preview of our findings in our short 2-page synopsis below.
Our investigation into how to improve the evaluation of scientific knowledge (and scientific publishing more broadly) has been in the works for nearly three years, but due to the work and efforts of the more than 100 people involved in this Discovery Stack experiment —as author, reviewer, instigator, helper, cheerleader and more — we have a firm foundation for our next step. Stay tuned for news about the new Discovery Curator in development. Soon we’ll be reaching out to find volunteer beta testers of our new ecosystem & platform, so stand by!
Please share with colleagues and your communities and help get out the word about how together we’re working to make science better!
Last but not at all least—
We want to send out a HUGE round of thanks to everyone who participated in this study:
- Our Scientific Advisory Board and Board of Directors who supported this initiative in every way;
- The authors who took a risk and submitted their papers to this experiment;
- The reviewers who spent their time figuring out a new system to separate scientific rigor from impact and a new program to make line edit and offer comments;
- And the Discovery Stack Pilot team who made it happen, Maureen McGargill and Caitlin Beiyun Liu.
Stay tuned for the next steps, coming soon!
