- We desperately need innovation in #ScientificPublishing. That’s why we created our new model of double-blind collaborative #peerreview to be transparent, credible, and fair. Reviewers are even calling it fun & refreshing — 2 words I don’t think anyone has ever said about peer review. 🧪
- We need new ways to share scientific knowledge, especially as the current ones crumble and exclude more than 50% of good research. But it's imperative that as we build the future of #PeerReview and #ScientificPublishing, we make things more fair, transparent, and inclusive. 🧪
- Did you know 50-70% of credible science is never published? We're missing out on a lot of information! One of our goals is to make it easier to peer review & publish datasets, small studies, & negative results. We all deserve to make an impact with our findings, regardless of how splashy they are.
- So much science is being deleted & forgotten. It's time for drastic action. We need a scientific 2-pager because: - Length≄Credibility - Strengthening peer review > Removing it - The academic article is outdated Let’s publish our research before it’s too late. 🧪 #ScientificPublishing #AcademicSky
- Scholarly publishing should be a platform for all credible science to be easily peer-reviewed & added to the public domain without censorship. That's why we signed the Declaration to Defend Research Against Government Censorship. Science is too important. #DefendResearch #ScientificPublishing
- Open and transparent peer review should be the norm in #ScientificPublishing. It increases trust in the peer review process and in the published literature. Our collaborative peer review is double-blind to focus on the science, but then transparent upon publication. The best of both worlds!
- "The present and future of peer review: Ideas, interventions, and evidence" is an interesting look at the state of #ScientificPublishing. One of their big takeaways? We need Open and Transparent Peer Review. I completely agree. What else do we need in #SciPub 2.0?

- Three years ago I went on a desert hike that changed my life. I'm a wildlife researcher and was growing frustrated with #ScientificPublishing. But on this hike, I had an idea to make scientific publishing more collaborative, fair, & transparent. It was time for a change. 🧪 #AcademicSky 1/

- Hi -- Welcome! We're a scientific journal founded on the ethics of good science. We believe that publishing should be collaborative, fair, and transparent. Here's how we're creating a new future for scientific publishing. #SciPub #AcademicSky 🧪 1/n
- It’s time to make all #peerreview double-blind. It reduces bias and lets the science speak for itself. We use it, but how many other journals do? Less than 10%. 🧪 #academicSky #SciPub
- Single-blind #peerreview leads to more positive outcomes if you are: - male - White - in the US or North America - well-published or known in your field - affiliated with a prestigious institution Can we please make double-blind the gold standard now? 🧪 #academicsky #SciPub
- It's been a big year for us! We've published our first articles, special issue, and were even featured by Nature. Looking forward to all we will accomplish in 2025 on our mission to improve scientific publishing and make it more ethical, streamlined, and inclusive.
- Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined all we accomplished at @stacksjournal.bsky.social in 2024. We've come a long way to making scientific publishing more ethical, streamlined, and collaborative. 🧪 A 🧵
- Many carnivore populations are declining and translocations can help. 🧪🦊 But how do we determine where to reintroduce them? New research on pine #Martens from the Martes Working Group provides a clear framework for answering this important question. A 🧵
- Reposted by Stacks JournalReally proud of this paper and the opportunity to work with the Stacks! I definitely recommend it for folks trying to break out of the toxic for-profit publishing groups.
- And so much has happened since then! 25 collaborative peer reviews, 4 published articles, and a special issue. We’re creating a refreshing experience in scientific publishing. 🧪

- Reposted by Stacks JournalImpact factors are outdated & unreliable (that's another story)... But a model of publishing everything that goes through peer review just doesn't make sense. It gives too much power to the few Editors who determine what goes to peer review in the first place. 🧪 www.science.org/content/arti...
- Nature published an article about how we're bringing more transparency and trust to scientific publishing. This feels big! What do you think of peer review by committee? 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...
- Nature just covered our new approach to peer review and publishing! What do you think about a collaborative model of peer review? www.nature.com/articles/d41...
- When Stacks Journal started a few years ago, we didn't know if scientists were ready to update peer review. Today, we have more than 100 followers on Bluesky. Let's keep it up! Tell your friends, colleagues, & labmates. We can fix peer review & scientific publishing through collaboration.
- Do you have unpublished research? We started Stacks Journal to increase access and inclusion in scientific publishing, and now you can share your research in just 1200 words. Great for publishing your datasets for others to use. Meet the 2-Pager!
- How does cannabis farming affect wildlife? There’s been rapid growth of #cannabis farms in the US, but little is known about how #wildlife are impacted. So Phoebe Parker-Shames and her colleagues Ben Goldstein & Justin Brashares studied this question. Here’s what they found 🧵
- 📣 Calling all researchers who study #MedicalEducation and #pregnancy. We received a new submission on the challenges facing pregnant medical school students. Click below to join the peer review! Please Repost. #MedSky 🧪 buff.ly/3Meje2j
- We’re missing out on a lot important science. This is why we offer short 2-pagers to help publish your datasets, negative results, and other findings that don’t fit into a full-length article ✨🧪
