Yikes!
Peer review is critical for the integrity of our science, and outside experts are always needed to vet new grant proposals.
By moving this all in-house at NIH, we lose scientific independence & make it easy for the government to determine what research should be funded.

Louder for the people at the back...
Do NOT use ChatGPT for peer review.
1) That's not what #peerreview is... A robot is not your peer
2) Stop cheating you slimeball
3) You should never give ChatGPT proprietary or confidential information
Maarten van Smeden @maartenvsmeden.bsky.social
We thank the reviewer for putting our manscript in the public domain using ChatGPT for their peer review without our consent and against journal policy, and for wasting our time reacting on comments that have apparently been written nor checked by the reviewer

Single-blind #peerreview leads to more positive outcomes if you are:
- male
- White
- in the US or North America
- well-published or known in your field
- affiliated with a prestigious institution
Can we please make double-blind the gold standard now?

And so it begins — NIH is planning to terminate active grants that no longer meet the agency's "priorities".
Grants that were already approved for funding through peer review.
The pursuit of knowledge should be apolitical, inclusive, and forward-thinking.

The biggest publishers pulled profit margins in 2023 that rival Big Tech.
And they still charge you to publish and your library to read.
When are we going to start seriously thinking of alternatives to reform #PeerReview?

Where is the money going? In the case of for-profit publishers it's very clear: Your open access fees fund corporate profit margins. Profit margins for large academic publishers can far exceed those of household names like Amazon and Apple. chart source: bit.ly/4leULKi #scipub #academicsky

A good #peerreviewer does not need to have every answer.
If you identify an important issue that falls outside your expertise, explain the concern clearly and let the editor know what kind of specialist input may be needed.

#ReviewerTip: Before questioning authorship, start with the evidence available.
Check contribution statements, disclosures, approvals, and inconsistencies. If information is missing, describe exactly what is unclear rather than speculating about intent.

Science progresses not only by confirming what we already know, but by recognizing what we have not yet learned to expect. #PeerReview should be designed to protect that possibility

Brian Wansink ran Cornell's Food and Brand Lab and published some of the most-cited nutrition studies of the 2010s. In 2016 he blogged about a grad student who "rescued" a failed study by slicing the data until something came back significant.
