At the Free Journal Network (freejournals.org), we curate a community of free-to-read and free-to-publish journals. We need your help! Two (unpaid) positions open: 1. Treasurer 2. General Board Member

New peer-reviewed #preprint: A novel robotic reaching task to advance the assessment of approach-avoidance tendencies through kinematic analysis, by Park K & @matthieuboisgontier.com (2025). Recommended by @tarkeshsingh.bsky.social doi.org/10.24072/pci...

Now published in Peer Community Journal, #Health and #Movement Sciences section: Improved accuracy of the whole body Center of Mass position through Kalman filtering

Just noticed that @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social now clearly indicates when a preprint has undergone peer reviewโ€”this is fantastic! Look at this! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ‘

New peer-reviewed #preprint: Ciochoล„ A, Balwicki L, ... Galbarczyk A, Marcinkowska UM (2025) Cigarette smoke exposure as a potential risk factor for sleep problems in pregnant women. Recommended by Escriva-Boulley G. Reviewed by Maltagliati S, Florian Chouchou F, Chaput JP. doi.org/10.24072/pci...

Here are some 2024 highlights of PCI and Peer Community Journal.๐Ÿ“Š Grateful to everyone who contributed to this success๐Ÿฆธ. We're excited and prepared for an amazing 2025๐Ÿคฉ!

There are now 19 thematic PCIs but many disciplines remain to be covered! We are therefore making a call for the creation of new thematic PCIs and giving some information on how to start:

New peer-reviewed #preprint by Charlotte Le Mouel: Improved accuracy of the whole body Center of Mass position through Kalman filtering. Recommended by @jvandieen.bsky.social based on reviews by Guillaume Durandeau, @maartenafschrift.bsky.social, and 1 anonymous reviewer: doi.org/10.24072/pci...

Brave decision by JHE Editorial Board. Hopefully there are transparent, open and even free initiatives out there for human evolution scientific publications.

Now published in Peer Community Journal, #Health and #Movement Sciences section: Structural Vulnerability Factors and Gestational Weight Gain: A Scoping Review on the Extent, Range, and Nature of the Literature

PCI is featured on the website of the Welch Medical Library at Johns Hopkins University๐Ÿ˜

Sharing data along with an article is important for transparency/repro. A nice consequency is that it allows teachers to propose interesting examples to students for improving/assessing data analysis skills. So thanks to Communications in Kinesiology & @pci-hms.bsky.social for their policies!

A warm welcome to the 18th Peer Community In: PCI Nutrition ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿฅณ

Looking for a free peer review of your manuscript? Send it to us! healthmovsci.peercommunityin.org/user/new_sub... Here's a look at the robust work that other researchers have already trusted us to improve & recommend.

Yesterday we enjoyed listening to Leigh-Ann Butler's talk on "How much is too much? Estimating APCs and questioning sustainability", and the Q&A session. If you missed it, no worries, you can find it, along with other PCI webinars, on our Youtube channel!

2 billion US$ a year for APCs. Sigh. Go watch the talk: www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0Gg... I can't believe that we support & sustain this prestige system insanity. I also don't understand why we don't talk about this more, and act. There are solutions: Peer Community In and diamond open access.

Just found this pretty cool study by skyless Barbusse, peer-review @pci-hms.bsky.social and recommended by @drannek.bsky.social. How do we adapt our movements to changes in force-fields? healthmovsci.peercommunityin.org/PCIHealthMov... #sensorimotor #neuroskyence

๐Ÿšจ Exciting news! ๐Ÿšจ On Nov 19th & 20th, we published our 10th & 11th preprint recommendations! ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿ‘ Join us in shaping the future of #OpenScience, submit your preprint today & get it peer-reviewed transparently & for free!

If you want a more affordable publishing system, you should prioritize the review of preprints with us ๐Ÿ™‚

PCI Psychology is a bold new effort seeking to improve peer review by separating it from journals and the publication process. Join us by signing up here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Once your preprint is peer-reviewed & recommended by us, if you decide to submit to a journal that is not @peercomjournal.bsky.social, please be sure to cite the @peercommunityin.bsky.social recommendation with its DOI to acknowledge our contribution & to make readers aware of the PCI initiative.

Very timely piece demonstrating the utility of Bayesian meta-analysis to update prior knowledge in health & movement science by Corcoran and @jamessteeleii.bsky.social. #SportScience

Really great to see this recommended in @pci-hms.bsky.social after all Hannah's hard work. Also a great review process with @mbieleke.bsky.social and the other reviewer really helping improve and tighten up the manuscript, thanks! ๐Ÿ™

New peer-reviewed preprint by Corcoran H. & @jamessteeleii.bsky.social: Cumulative evidence synthesis and consideration of "research waste" using Bayesian methods. Recommended by @wanjawolff.bsky.social & Gaveau J. for @pci-hms.bsky.social. Reviews by @mbieleke.bsky.social. doi.org/10.24072/pci...

Very happy of this one ! Nice first experience with the PCI process!
