We are delighted to see the growth of the ‘Publish, Review, Curate’ (PRC) initiatives in recent years!🚀
One of them is @metaror.bsky.social (MetaResearch Open Review).
This platform focuses on open peer review and curation of metaresearch articles.

In our first year: 28 articles evaluated, 59 expert reviewers, most reviews published ahead of target, 9 partner journals, and growing visibility across conferences & media.
A strong start for community-owned, open peer review: metaror.org/metaror-turn...
Following up from @drjbeaudry.bsky.social's wonderful recap email yesterday, here is the group photo from #AIMOS2025. If you couldn't make this this year, we hope to see you next year in beautiful Wellington!

Congratulations, Simine! It’s so well deserved! @simine.com
Awww. ❤️
Thanks to everyone who came to Sydney for #AIMOS2025! I can't wait to see you in Wellington, NZ next year!
In the spirit of transparency, I’ll need to see what they look like by the time you get home.

What do you do when you get flowers that you can’t take home on a plane? You give them to James Heathers (for his Mum). @jamesheathers.bsky.social

@fidlerfm.bsky.social I said that the next President has to stand in front of this photo next year!
That’s a wrap! #AIMOS2025
Rules be damned. It was such a fun way to end the official Day 2 program.
For the sake of teaching the Aussies, this is how it would go on Jeopardy:
“This hackathon had the most laughter at AIMOS2025.” “What is ‘Improving Research Assessment by Stealth’?”
So much energy and laughter in a Jeopardy-style game about Responsible Research Assessment with DORA. Thanks @ginnybarbour.bsky.social @dorassessment.bsky.social

ForMet: Modify trust by evaluating research accuracy of scientific documents by tools. It is not designed to find fraud.
A lot of science is bad/wrong.

What does the ideal education in publication intergrity look like? How are students and ECRs supposed to learn how to identify unreliable research? @pranujanp.bsky.social @jabyrnesci.bsky.social @aidybarnett.bsky.social #AIMOS2025
Day 2 at #AIMOS2025 is underway with our mini-notes session on Commercial Determinants of Health. Karen Lee talks about the role of commercial influences on the number of publications in prevention research.
An insightful and informative session with Ivan Oransky from @retractionwatch.com for the #AIMOS2025 Public Talk.
Day 1 is ending with Ivan Oransky's @retractionwatch.com public lecture. #aimos2025
Two conferences on science quality this week
Worth looking through the tags for the International Research Integrity Conference #IRICSydney and the Association for Interdisciplinary Meta-research & Open Science Conference #AIMOS2025
Preprints and Versioning
The final paper is the destination. The version history is the journey, and it matters too. 🗺️
#Preprints enable versioning, providing a clear indication of how your research evolves over time. It makes your research more complete and transparent.

#AIMOS2025 Day 1 is well underway. I love seeing the enthusiasm from all attendees.
"I'm not influenced."
"My colleagues are influenced, but I'm not."
"I have ties with all the, companies, so I'm not influenced by any.”
