Watch a video, or browse a flyer to understand the workflow of the Discovery Stack Pilot!
Discovery Stack aims to build a review process that separates Quality and Impact, allowing the scientific data Quality to stand on its own, and Impact of discoveries to evolve and resolve over time.
This 2 minute video illustrates what we hope to achieve with the Discovery Stack Pilot!
Good Peer Review should be:
- Collaborative
- Easier to help science progress
- Leverages the Reviewers’ rigor & expertise to their best effect
Detailed Workflows for each Participant Role within Discovery Stack
Authors, your role in Discovery Stack will be pivotal for facilitating a discussion-based environment of Peer Improvement Review. This 2-minute video explains how!
Stay tuned for Quality and Impact reviewer workflows as we finish up tweaking the details!
Let’s install Hypothesis together!

Frequently Asked Questions
We do not require particular formatting, as long as your manuscript is available on BioRxiv, you’re good to sign up!
For the Discovery Stack pilot, 3 Quality Reviewers will be asked, and a total of 10 Impact reviewers will be asked per manuscript. The 3 Quality Reviewers will also be tasked with Impact Review, with an additional 7 Impact Reviewers commencing after the consolidation of Quality Reviews and Author responses. Impact reviewer comments will become available to authors as each Impact reviewer submit their response.
To prevent our review process from influencing the publication outcome of your manuscript, all rubric scores and reviewer identities for both Quality and Impact reviews will not be made public until your manuscript has been accepted at a traditional journal. Reviewer identities and rubric scores will become public after the completion of the Discovery Stack Pilot and results from the study has been published.
If you need to move your Hypothesis comments from one group to another, follow these instructions:
- Log in at https://web.hypothes.is/
- In your profile, expand on the article you’ve been annotating.
- In the expansion, click on the link that says “view annotations in context”
This will take you to the BioRxiv manuscript with the Hypothesis side panel with all your annotations.
Once you’re here and see all your annotations, continue:
- At the top of the Hypothesis side panel, click on the “Share” icon. It is the middle icon in a set of 5 icons that if you hover your mouse over, it should say “share annotations on this page”, click on that.
- Within the “Share panel”, to the Export tab, it should say in red lettering “Export from (where you are currently)”. Take a note on this location, you will need it later!
- Export the file to a temporary location. Doesn’t matter where, as long as you know how to find it immediately. Don’t change the file format (JSON)
- Now go to the top of the Hypothesis side panel, and find your Reviewer Group (Discovery Stack Reviewer #) from the drop down menu. You may need to scroll all the way down to “My Groups”
- Once you’re in the correct Discovery Stack Reviewer Group, still within “Share”, go to the “Import” Tab, the red lettering will say “Import into Discovery Stack Reviewer…”
- Upload the file you just downloaded and hit “Import”
- You may now delete your annotations from the original group where it was uploaded to by mistake (the location noted in Step 2). Click on the trash can icon below each annotation.
We are also available to walk you thru the process.
