The document discusses various models of peer review for scientific publications. Traditional peer review has been used since the 1960s but faces issues like being slow, expensive, inconsistent, and allowing for bias. Newer models being explored include open peer review, minimizing re-review where authors can opt out of re-review if revisions are deemed sufficient, portable peer review where reviews can be transferred between journals, technical peer review focusing on methods, decoupling peer review from specific journals, and post-publication peer review via comments on sites like PubMed and PubPeer. These developments aim to address issues with traditional peer review and further improve the scientific publication and review process.

The document discusses the future of peer review in scientific publishing. It notes that while traditional peer review models have been widely used since the 1960s, online publishing and open access have changed the landscape. Various criticisms of traditional peer review are outlined, such as being slow, expensive, inconsistent, and open to bias. The document then explores innovative peer review models such as open peer review, minimal re-review, journal cascades, and separating assessments of soundness from interest level. It concludes that while traditional peer review is widely practiced, new models are being tested to make the process more transparent, reduce burden on reviewers, and speed up review and publication.Is peer review peerless?

The document summarizes a pilot study on researchers' perceptions of open peer review (OPR) in the era of open science. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven STEM faculty and researchers. The interviews explored participants' awareness and views of OPR, willingness to publish peer review reports and sign reviews, and opinions on shifting from blind to open peer review. While some were open to OPR, others had concerns about transparency. Due to the small sample size, no definitive conclusions could be drawn, but future larger studies are needed to understand adoption of OPR across fields.JBM Flyer

Peer review is a quality assessment process for articles submitted to scholarly journals, involving impartial experts in the same field as the author. This process evaluates the accuracy of the manuscript and its research methodology, suggesting revisions or rejecting articles that lack validity. Indicators of a peer-reviewed article include an abstract, serious tone, citations, lists of references, and the authors credentials.Introduction to Peer review, updated 2015-03-05

Peer review is a process used to evaluate research proposals and publications before funding or publication. It involves subject experts critically reviewing research to ensure quality. Peer review originated in 18th century scholarly societies and became institutionalized in the 20th century. It is applied to funding applications, research reports, conference presentations, and journal articles/monographs. While peer review helps improve research quality, it also faces criticism for potential bias, subjectivity, conservatism, and increasing burden on reviewers. Detecting misconduct is challenging as reviewers are also fallible.How Journalists Can Effectively -- And Safely -- Report on Scientific Fraud

Open scholarship, like open source software, is changing research by making it more collaborative, efficient and sustainable. It allows research to be openly accessible and debugged more easily. Studies show much published research is not reproducible. Open scholarship provides more stakeholders and public support while potentially decreasing costs and barriers to entry over time. Sustainability models include professional services, crowdfunding and leveraging economies of scale since costs of publishing are much lower than current commercial publishers charge.

The document discusses the perspectives of researchers conducting systematic reviews and the importance of developing a clear research question. It emphasizes that a well-constructed question using the PICO/PICo framework is fundamental to guiding the review process, including developing inclusion criteria and an effective search strategy. Researchers may have different levels of experience and understanding of systematic reviews, so librarians play an important role in helping them conceptualize the question and properly carry out the various review steps, such as developing a reproducible search strategy.Blockchain based digital currency for researchers (Peer-reviewers)

In an era where users are bombarded with endless choices, capturing attention and driving meaningful engagement isn't just about building features it's about understanding what drives human behavior at its core. This presentation offers a deep dive into how psychological principles can inform smarter, more intuitive product decisions. Its not just theory its a hands-on blueprint for applying human-centered thinking at every stage of product development.
Grounded in behavioral science, consumer psychology, and cognitive design, this deck unpacks the key psychological drivers behind user motivation, decision-making, emotional engagement, and habit formation. From attention economics and dopamine-driven interactions to trust cues, loss aversion, and the paradox of choice you'll see how to harness what the mind naturally does to build digital products people dont just use they return to, talk about, and even advocate for.
Well explore:
Cognitive biases that shape user perception and choices and how to use them to your advantage without crossing ethical lines.
Emotional design principles that build trust, trigger desire, and turn features into feelings.
User behavior loops that build stickiness, deepen retention, and create emotional investments.
Psychological friction when to reduce it for conversion, and when to add it for intentionality.
Dark patterns vs. ethical persuasion the thin line between influence and manipulation.
A/B testing with a psychological lens learning not just what works, but why it works.
This is more than UX research or product marketing fluff. Its a call to build with empathy, backed by science, and sharpened by real-world product thinking. Whether youre shaping onboarding flows, gamifying engagement, designing pricing models, or rethinking retention strategies this deck will arm you with a new lens: the human mind.
Perfect for product managers, growth strategists, UX designers, behavioral scientists, and anyone serious about building products that resonate, retain, and inspire action.
Because at the heart of every great product is a human.
Lets start building for the brain not just the screen.Cloud Collaboration Market Challenges, Drivers, Trends, and Forecast by 2031

Thiazole derivatives of N-substituted isatin have attracted significant interest due to their wide-ranging applications in medicinal chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and materials science. These compounds exhibit diverse biological activities, making them promising drug candidates, while their unique chemical structures offer potential in designing advanced functional materials. This presentation focuses on the synthesis and characterization of these derivatives through targeted chemical reactions involving various substituents on the isatin and thiazole cores, enabling the fine-tuning of their biological and physical properties. Characterization techniques such as NMR, FT-IR, Mass Spectrometry, and X-ray crystallography are employed to confirm molecular structures and analyze solid-state properties. These methods provide critical insights into the structureactivity relationships of the synthesized compounds. Our presentation highlights the synthetic pathways, structural elucidation, and potential applications of thiazole-based N-substituted isatin derivatives, aiming to support ongoing advancements in drug discovery and material development.

science, any system of knowledge that is concerned with the physical world and its phenomena and that entails unbiased observations and systematic experimentation. In general, a science involves a pursuit of knowledge covering general truths or the operations of fundamental laws.
Science can be divided into different branches based on the subject of study. The physical sciences study the inorganic world and comprise the fields of astronomy, physics, chemistry, and the Earth sciences. The biological sciences such as biology and medicine study the organic world of life and its processes. Social sciences like anthropology and economics study the social and cultural aspects of human behaviour.
Science is further treated in a number of articles. For the history of Western and Eastern science, see science, history of. For the conceptualization of science and its interrelationships with culture, see science, philosophy of. For the basic aspects of the scientific approach, see physical science, principles of; and scientific method.
