Prof. Chris Chambers : Why community-led peer review is the future of academic publishing – the example of Registered Reports
Visiting lecture organised by The Open Science Community of Turku.
Prof. Chris Chambers; Why community-led peer review is the future of academic publishing – the example of Registered Reports
Hybrid lecture: Zoom link: https://utu.zoom.us/j/62914531509.
Registered Reports are a form of empirical publication, offered by over 350 journals, in which study proposals are peer reviewed and pre-accepted before research is undertaken. By deciding which articles are published based on the question, theory, and methods, Registered Reports offer a remedy for a range of reporting and publication biases. In this talk, I will introduce a new platform for supporting Registered Reports called the Peer Community in Registered Reports (PCI RR).
PCI RR is a non-profit, non-commercial platform that, like the many other PCIs, coordinates the peer-review of preprints (https://rr.peercommunityin.org/about/about) but in this case specifically for RRs. PCI RR is also joined by a growing fleet of “PCI RR-friendly” journals that agree to endorse the recommendations of PCI RR without further review (https://rr.peercommunityin.org/about/pci_rr_friendly_journals), giving the authors the power to choose which journal, if any, will publish their manu. By reclaiming control of the peer review process from academic publishers, PCI RR offers a route for ensuring that Registered Reports are made as open, accessible, and rigorous as possible, while also moving toward a future in which journals themselves become obsolete
