Paying peer reviewers works.
Expanded Fast & Fair experiment @biologyopen.bsky.social:
• 5.5 vs 37.7 working days to decision with reviews
• ~3 vs ~9 reviewer invitations per manuscript
• no reduction in editor-assessed review quality
• similar acceptance rates

And yes that's my book at 3 o'clock 😁
Is this the future of peer review?
New from @biologyopen.bsky.social: expanded Fast & Fair trial paying reviewers £220 per paper
The result: rapid peer review with no drop in quality or change in acceptance rate
Paying referees makes peer review faster & fairer

If ever there was a time to subscribe to an award winning magazine publishing the best scifi in the business…. Now seems a good time.

Our team’s semifinalists for #SPSFC5
Congrats to the Rohan O’Duill and Noam Josephides 🎉
The escape pod, Man With Gun by Tadg Farrington, was one of my personal favourites in our team’s batch, and I’m sorry it narrowly missed out on a semifinal spot.
I highly recommend all three of these 🤩
