Peer Community In. What is it? The project "Peer Community in (PCI)" (https://peercommunityin.org/) has been launched in January 2017 and now counts 11 communities: PCI Evolutionary Biology (https://evolbiol.peercommunityin.org/),…

Have you heard about PCI Psychology (or another PCI, like PCI Registered Reports) but are not really sure how it works? This video is a good introduction www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PZh... but we'd love to hear your questions! Please reply to this thread and repost for reach!

Well done Historical Biology! 🥳

Last Friday, we published the 500th article of Peer Community Journal! 🥳

We'd like to thank @pci-hms.bsky.social for this review process on this opinion letter. Being able to get a pre-print reviewed, without paying APC #diamondopenaccess + having a recommendation that highlights the main findings is a real treat!

remarkable to me how much of (my) #sips2025 was about publishing reform, but how totally absent that has been from #metascience2025 (indeed, the very opposite with an elsevier VP joining a keynote panel)

This great editorial clearly explains the Peer Community In (PCI) initiative. It’s from @psych.peercommunityin.org, but it applies to all PCI communities: doi.org/10.31234/osf...

We are looking for new recommenders to join Peer Community in Genomics! The position of “recommender” is analogous to an associate editor at a traditional journal. However, recommenders are not obliged to handle any manuscripts.

PCI Psychology is here!! 🎉🥳

After over a year of hard work by so many people, we are thrilled to announce that we are open for submissions! Join us in making publishing more efficient, equitable, and open: psych.peercommunityin.org
