We updated the dashboard for the social media discussion of research on #COVID19, now covering June as well. Explore here: bit.ly/3esAMV5 Rodrigo Costas Giovanni Colavizza Zhichao Fang CWTS | Leiden University #altmetrics

I had the opportunity to pen this piece, looking at what we've learned in the past six months about preprints. One thing the pandemic showed is that preprints in 2020 are much more than incomplete drafts of scientific manuscripts pending publication.

"They [preprints] break disciplinary barriers, encourage collaboration, speed up dissemination, and dramatically broaden the audience of scientists who can review, critique, or corroborate a study’s findings, all in real time."

Very cool to have our preprint reviewed through this new initiative (and thanks to the reviewers for the very helpful comments too!!) rapidreviewscovid19.mitpress.mit.edu/pub/k8h2xox0/r…

The #COVID19 pandemic has led to a number of questionable research practices which a full adherence to #openscience could have avoided. Researchers, co-sign if you agree. Article: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Sign: forms.gle/vagxi5mrQLi5hH… Please RT! #openaccess #OpenSource 1/6

Many scientists are puzzled by MDPI: is it predatory or not? In a data-driven post I argue it is something different: aggressive rent extraction. MDPI strategy is innovative & successful, but unsustainable and ultimately bad for science. paolocrosetto.wordpress.com/2021/04/12/is-…
