Seeds of Science: another free to publish attempt at reforming the scientific publishing process
www.emilkirkegaard.com
A large number of scientists believe the scientific publishing ecosystem is quite broken, in the sense that it favors flashy improbable findings over rigorous research. This positivity and novelty bias is so strong that some large proportion of newly claimed findings are actually 'false positives' or at best grossly overestimated. On top of this, there is somehow also a bias against heterodox findings. Just try publishing on heterodox topics and soon you will be labeled a crank, lunatic, or pseudoscientist. So, how to fix things? Well, many think we need to make new publishers that avoid some problems with the current system. The Seeds of Science is another such attempt.
