In academia, we sometimes trade permanence for possibility. And each time, impostor syndrome tags along, telling us the same story. It used to sound convincing. Not anymore. Read the post by @lealoburoglu.bsky.social #AcademicSky #SciPub #PeerReview #PhDSky #AcademicChatter #OpenScience 🧪

Authorship isn’t a gift, it’s earned. It’s a record of truth. Don’t wait for a mistake to learn the rules. Read the post by @mo-baudement.bsky.social‬, and subscribe if you like what you read. #AcademicSky #SciPub #PeerReview #PhDSky #AcademicChatter #OpenScience 🧪

Peer review helps ensure high quality in research studies. Government officials without ad-hoc expertise should NOT be deciding what is worthy of studying or how it should be researched. The EO is nothing but the desire to control the scientific narrative. We cannot accept that.

"Impact factor." It decides who gets grants, who gets tenure, who gets to stay. But we are not the sum of skewed metrics. Read the new post by @lealoburoglu.bsky.social, and subscribe if you like what you read. #AcademicSky #SciPub #PeerReview #PhDSky #OpenScience 🧪

Not every experiment is a breakthrough. Some are bricks in the foundation. Let’s stop pretending “novelty” is the only thing worth publishing. Read the post by @lealoburoglu.bsky.social, and subscribe if you like what you read. #AcademicSky #SciPub #PeerReview #PhDSky #OpenScience 🧪

You just wanted to understand the unexplained. No one warned you about the game. But don’t forget, you are the one who writes the rules. Read the post by @lealoburoglu.bsky.social, and subscribe if you like what you read. #AcademicSky #SciPub #PeerReview #PhDSky #OpenScience 🧪

When the system pays for papers, someone’s always selling shortcuts. But predatory journals didn’t invent the problem, they saw the opportunity. Read the new post by Anita Waltho, and subscribe if you like what you read. #AcademicSky #SciPub #PeerReview #PhDSky #PredatoryJournals #OpenScience 🧪

We build the scaffolding of science in silence. Unpaid, unaccredited, and unseen. If authorship comes with recognition, why should reviewing be any different? Read the post by Luís Oliveira, and subscribe if you like what you read. #AcademicSky #SciPub #PeerReview #PhDSky #OpenScience 🧪

Anonymous peer review was meant to protect honesty, not to license hostility. Accountability isn’t optional. It’s the backbone of open science. Read the post by @lealoburoglu.bsky.social, and subscribe if you like what you read. #AcademicSky #SciPub #PeerReview #PhDSky #EGU25 #OpenScience 🧪

A claim gets misquoted, a source misread, and suddenly, a whole research thread is built on something that was never actually there. Check out the latest blog post by @samvangele.bsky.social: www.themodernpeer.com/wild-citatio... #AcademicSky #SciPub #PeerReview #PhDSky #OpenScience 🧪

Once again, reviewer #2 makes you wonder if they even read the paper. How do you stay (relatively) sane when addressing peer-reviewer comments? Read the post by @lealoburoglu.bsky.social, and subscribe if you like what you read. #AcademicSky #SciPub #PeerReview #PhDSky #OpenScience 🧪

We write for free. We review for free. We edit (often) for free. And then we pay to publish...so that others can pay to read.
