A great start to celebrating 25 years of interactive open-access publishing!
Many thanks to the @egu.eu for the opportunity to reflect on this journey in this interview.

While ‘preprint’ may sound like just a preliminary version of a document, they shift control from reviewers and editors to authors. Here are 3 reasons why you, as a #researcher, should consider preprinting your work.

Scientists Say New Government Climate Report Twists Their Work A new Department of Energy report “fundamentally misrepresents” climate research and leaves out key context, multiple scientists cited in the report tell WIRED.

NEW: i spoke to nine (!) scientists across several disciplines whose work was cited in the new Department of Energy report that downplays the severity of climate change. all of them say their work was misrepresented, cherry picked, and/or lacked context —

Opinion: Improved scientific discourse and quality assurance by interactive open access publishing with community-based multi-stage open peer review in an open science landscape Abstract. Scientific discourse and quality assurance can be improved by open science through public peer review and community discussion of preprints on open access (OA) publishing platforms. Over 25 ...

Open access paired with public peer review leads to high quality articles at moderate costs, not achieved by preprints alone. This approach, efficient & financially sustainable for 25 yrs, benefits science rather than intentions by some commercial publishers egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/20...

One for early career researchers out there. I earnestly believe that reviewing papers does help improve you as a writer, so I'd encourage anyone working within the field who is looking to gain experience to consider this.

Firings are happening right now at the National Science Foundation. Essential staff are being cut.

This isn’t about the budget. If it was, they’d be going after the military (17%) or state appropriations (38%). NSF is 0.7% of the federal budget. All federal employees make up only 4% of the budget.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]
