Weekly digest: NISO OABP, effective plain language summaries and PLS for APAC This week, we encourage readers to comment on draft OABP recommendations from NISO and complete a survey exploring how to make PLS clearer and more accessible. We also read guidance on how to make PLS accessible in APAC, and we consider when and how to retract an article. We review insights on transparent peer review based on experiences at the European Journal of Higher Education and ask if pharma is ready to rethink implementation for patient centricity. Finally, we listen to the latest MAPS Elevate podcast, which explores how to improve your journal selection process.
