122: Reoptimizing scientific publishing for the internet age (with Michael Eisen)

Listen Later

The internet should have transformed science publishing, but it didn't. We chat with Michael Eisen (Editor-in-Chief of eLife) about reoptimizing scientific publishing and peer review for the internet age.

Here what we cover and some links:

  • How Michael co-founded PLOS
  • The book Dan mentioned on the history of the scientific journal
  • Why did eLife launch? What did it offer that other journals didn't?
  • Nature's recently proposed $11k article processing fee proposal
  • eLife's new "author-driven publishing" approach, in which all submitted papers have to be posted as preprints
  • Part two of our conversation will be released on January 4, 2021

Instead of just a list of titles, Scite shows you an excerpt of text from each citing article so you can easily see what each citing paper says.
