I'm one of the founders of Publons (no longer affiliated). Our original vision was similar to what you describe. You can read more here: https://publons.com/wos-op/publon/1/ https:…

The best way to think of it is probably that Cassyni is to webinars as an academic journal is to blogs. As an example, we issue a DOI for each seminar, meaning their metadata are i…

Hi, this is Andrew (arhpreston) and Ben (benjyk) from Cassyni ( https://cassyni.com ). We both completed PhDs in physics before going on to found Publons and Kopernio, companies th…

A lot of that talk compares theoretical results with experiments in a low-pressure wind tunnel (see e.g., the slide at this point https://cassyni.com/events/6GYLBKG5pBd4su8dm9A9FB?…

If you're interested in the details of what goes in to developing rotors for a helicopter for an atmosphere we've never built in before you should check out this talk: https://doi.…

I hope this comes across as helpful and not one-upmanship: it is natural to think that having a child is like many of the other things you're used to in life where you can control …

I don't have a problem with the comments. They're illuminating under a close reading. The role of CEO is high status and highly desirable. I think it's safe to assume most readers …

There may be an intersection between fabricated research and fraudulently reviewed research but I understand that at least some of the papers retracted for reviewer fraud could hav…

You might be interested in the Publons Academy [1] -- which we are launching tomorrow -- and some of the other tools we've built to improve the review process (e.g., more trustwort…

With Publons.com ( https://publons.com ) we have different philosophy: the more transparency we can bring to the review process, the better. At the same time we recognise that both…

This is one of the problems we're trying to solve with Publons.com. We help reviewers to build an officially verified record of past reviews (which is great when it comes to gettin…

Absolutely agree. I just pledged. Thanks Tom.

Very similar to CloudCannon ( http://cloudcannon.com/ )

I absolutely agree with Doug. The key is prestige. Our approach to that is to turn peer review itself into a measurable research output -- see our recent partnership with PeerJ for…

Hi Doug. Cool graphic. I'm one of the founders of https://publons.com . Our mission is to speed up academic publishing by turning peer review into a measurable research output. Wou…

The key is to start developing better ways to measure researcher productivity. That's where all the different forms of altmetrics come in. For us (Publons.com) we're using peer rev…

> it would also give some recognition to the work that goes into reviewing a paper I think you're spot on with this comment. That's exactly what we're building at publons.com. Chec…

ImpactStory monitors github, which is pretty cool. Example: http://impactstory.org/CarlBoettiger

I've said as much in the article comments, but it's worth repeating here: there's really no surprise that this sort of thing happens when more than a million articles are published…

You're partially correct. I'd say that we tend to adopt the successful cultural adaptations of our ancestors and discard the others. In other words, when comparing an ancient socie…
