Abstract: The increasing demand for swift dissemination of research findings, combined with the drive towards transparency and open science has challenged the established approach to peer review in the journal publication system. Post-publication peer review (PPPR) takes place when an article is published before peer reviewers are sought, and takes a number of forms, including Letters to the Editor, blogs, social media and online platforms such as F1000 Research. Aside from the speed at which information can be shared w… Show more

“…28 Another model, with a similar impetus but different workflow, is 'post-publication peer review'. 29 Here, a variety of comments and reviews are posted by peers after manuscripts have been published. However, with the emphasis on speed, the quality of such publications and their reviews may suffer, potentially resulting in the public dissemination of poor science.…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…By relying on a broader, collective revision system, post-publication peer review could provide a helpful tool for evaluating a scientific hypothesis in a more critical, timely and lucid way. 41,43 Critical analysis of articles is everyday work in research laboratories, e.g., to evaluate methodologies, establish new protocols and survey the state-of-the-art. When researchers read an article to formulate ideas for their projects, they may often observe flaws, unclear or incomplete methods, or a lack of data explanation.…”

“…As the expression indicates, post-publication peer review consists of providing feedback and comments on an article after it has been published. [41][42][43] This 'second' review process takes place in a public online forum and could be carried out by any researcher willing to contribute, anonymously or not. Postpublication peer review broadens the community of peers who can express themselves on the quality of an article, enabling the identification and discussion of problems and offering a potential mechanism for making the certification of a result more robust.…”

“…This model could be delivered, they argue, through an infrastructure of publishing platforms, publishing potentially high volumes of papers, overlaid by 'curation journals', which select already published papers based on their quality. Some of the above ideas have been implemented by platforms such as ScienceOpen, Peer Community in, PREreview, and various others (O'Sullivan et al, 2021). According to ScienceOpen (2020), 'peer review suffers from a lack of transparency, recognition, and accountability'.…”
