@kfitz.infoReposted by @prcalliance.bsky.socialI first wrote about the need to recognize peer reviews as acts of scholarship back in 2006. It's a dream deferred, but not a dream denied. We're going to make this happen.
@prcalliance.bsky.socialDuring the talk, Ludo will outline a new vision for research communication based on the Publish, Review, Curate (PRC) model—one that places openness, transparency, community participation, and scholarly judgment at its core.
@prcalliance.bsky.socialJoin us for the “Publish, Review, Curate (PRC): Shaping the future of scholarly publishing” launch event, where Ludo Waltman @ludowaltman.bsky.social, Scientific Director, Center for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS) at Leiden University, will give a keynote talk.
@prcalliance.bsky.socialIn the Publish-Review-Curate model, peer review is given the recognition it deserves! The current publication system makes this important work invisible and doesn’t properly recognize it.

@prcalliance.bsky.socialThank you for featuring the PRC Alliance launch event!
@prcalliance.bsky.socialPeer review challenge: Trust
❌Unrealistic expectations of peer review, potentially undermining trust in science
✅ PRC is honest about what peer review is and isn’t able to provide

@prcalliance.bsky.socialPeer review challenge: Capacity ❌Lack of peer review capacity ✅PRC makes better use of the limited peer review capacity
@prcalliance.bsky.socialPeer review challenge: Diversity ❌Lack of diversity among peer reviewers ✅PRC enables open forms of participation in peer review
@prcalliance.bsky.socialPeer review challenge: Openness ❌ Lack of openness and transparency in peer review ✅PRC makes peer review open and transparent
@prcalliance.bsky.socialPeer review challenge: Quality ❌Variable quality of peer review ✅PRC recognizes that research outputs and peer reviews will always be of variable quality
@prcalliance.bsky.socialPeer review faces many challenges: Quality, Openness, Diversity, Capacity, and Trust.
As @ludowaltman.bsky.social discussed at the University of Cambridge, the PRC model addressed those challenges! 🧵

@prcalliance.bsky.socialDelays in the scientific publication system often stem from a lengthy, inefficient peer review process. Can we improve it? Yes! We can change the way things are ordered in the publication pipeline: first Publish, then Review and Curate!

@prcalliance.bsky.social"PRC makes the full process of scientific dispute visible: instead of concealing deliberation behind editorial decisions, it exposes disagreement, revision, and assessment as integral parts of scientific discovery."
