<p><strong>Events</strong> - <em>Team: Abigail Licata, Paulina Manduch</em></p>

<p>We organise drop-in sessions and networking events, which provide a platform for meeting other organisers, exchanging ideas, and asking questions related to ReproducibiliTea journal club organization.
<br /><br /></p>

<p><strong>Internal communications and collaborations</strong></p>

<p>Our team keeps the community updated via Slack and mailing lists, but recently we have worked to strengthen the collaborations between ReproducibiliTea clubs via three avenues:</p>
<ul>
  <li>The Speaker Swap program</li>
  <li>We encourage collaborations via ReproducibiliTea Collaborations</li>
  <li>We have introduced the idea of <a href="https://reproducibilitea.org/special-interest-groups">Special Interest Groups (SIGs)</a>
<br /><br /></li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Post-publication review project</strong> - <em>Team: Paulina Manduch, Lianne Wolsink</em></p>

<p>This project is aimed at encouraging journal clubs to engage in post-publication reviewing and commenting (see <a href="https://reproducibilitea.org/jc/2025/11/07/post-publication-reviewing">our blog post</a> &amp; <a href="https://reproducibilitea.org/post-publication-reviews">a new section on our website</a>).</p>

<p>In October 2025, we organised two webinars on the topic of peer review and its diversification (see <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xuFoCPYjMzKZ2kpBVBgXHVTPXl8stghAA9e6sVWdaEA/edit?tab=t.0">full programme</a>). The video recordings are available on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL71JDbaBfy83TrUALV3sNQmlMblllftF7">our YouTube channel</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Paper with tips for running a ReproducibiliTea journal club</strong> - <em>Team: Lianne Wolsink, Abigail Licata, Paulina Manduch, Sophia Crüwell, Anastasiia Marmyleva, Hemani Sharma, Michael Muhoozi, William Ngiam, Helena Gellersen, Matt Jaquiery, Jan Vornhagen, Hazel Aileen van der Walle</em></p>

<p>We are finalising a manuscript focused on tips for running a ReproducibiliTea journal club, which will act as a guide for both the set-up and transferral of journal clubs as members leave their institution. 
<br /><br /></p>

<p><strong>Outreach and external relations</strong> - <em>Team: Helena Gellersen, Hazel Aileen van der Walle, Paulina Manduch, Lianne Wolsink</em></p>

<p>In collaboration with the Framework for Open and Reproducible Research Training (FORRT) we worked on a paper on citational politics in academia. We reflect on current biases and their causes and provide readers with a toolkit to empower them to assess their own citation practices. This work is integrated with FORRT’s Academic Wheel of Privilege (AWoP), a concerted effort to make academia more open to people from all backgrounds.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuQEmrME6uk">Video</a>.</p>

<p>In June 2025, Hazel Aileen van der Walle gave a presentation on ReproducibiliTea and our current projects at <a href="https://www.ukrn.org/2025/06/10/2025-ukrn-local-network-leads-retreat-london-school-of-economics/">the UKRN Local Network Leads retreat</a> in London. 
<br /><br /></p>

<p><strong>Final remarks</strong></p>

<p>However, while engaging in this practice can be quite daunting, I have found that most learning for academics can come from seeing how experts in the field openly and publicly debate existing, peer-reviewed, and published work. I’ve seen papers be completely dismantled due to poor statistical methodologies employed, incorrect interpretation of the results, or simply theoretical issues that would invalidate the central premise of said paper. Often, these come in the form of social media interactions, blog posts, or pub peer comments. But all are valuable. They remind us that science does not end with peer review; that is simply the first level of scrutiny that a piece of work must pass.

<p>Post-publication peer-review is the need of the hour which ensures we honor COPE guidelines besides ensuring reproducibility and the articles’ transparency.  Peer-review is in the eye of the beholder and it may be possible that the post peer review could allow other researchers, including those authors of the published article take measures on improvement, ‘sci’tability and check scientific quotient.

When the idea of adding preprint reviews to our meetings was first brought up, it seemed like a natural fit. Making open reviews the norm in research can increase opportunities for diverse feedback, might encourage positive reviewer behaviour, and would improve transparency around how research rigour is evaluated. Although it was daunting, with a club mostly made up of PhD and Masters students without reviewing experience, we’ve found it an interesting and helpful experience to review preprints ourselves.</p>

<p>Along with publishing preprints, making our work globally accessible on a faster timescale, post-publication reviewing seemed like a great step to engage with in the publish-review-curate model. This model summarises a method of research dissemination where preprinted or open work is reviewed publicly by people with relevant insight, and validated in context by others to improve discoverability and trust. With support from <a href="https://asapbio.org/preprint-journal-clubs/">ASAPbio’s preprint review club program</a> to share snacks with attendees while we discussed papers, we set about using some of our ReproducibiliTea meetings to review preprints together on a regular basis. When we did some research for guidance on reviewing, we realised that it was very common to have minimal help when starting out. ASAPbio’s resources on <a href="https://asapbio.org/focus-areas/peer-review/fast-principles/">the FAST principles for preprint feedback</a> formed the backbone of our approach; mainly, that reviews should be focused, appropriate, specific, and transparent. Focusing on being reflective and specific, we aimed to provide clear, actionable, and useful suggestions for the authors.</p>

<p>There were understandable concerns about being open in critiques of research. In particular, as early career researchers there were specific worries about being judged negatively for engaging in public criticism or leaving inexpert feedback. Making it optional for journal club attendees to sign the reviews and acknowledging our expertise candidly made it a more accessible process. The important thing for us was to have peer-to-peer feedback during the process, which helped to shape the tone and clarity of our comments to better contextualise the research findings. We also discussed the ways that open review may give readers of the feedback the impression that reviewed work is less robust than preprints without public feedback, but agreed that a collegial and engaged review remains an optional, useful contribution to authors and colleagues, should they choose to read it.</p>

<p>The process has given us an opportunity to talk about why open reviews can be a positive contribution to journal clubs and the research community. Reviewing preprints openly provides an alternative way of engaging with research in the public domain, beyond journals that allow for hosted post-publication critiques, such as letters to the editor or validation reports. There are often specific restrictions to these forms of feedback. They also may not be linked directly to the original article, or published at all. By using <a href="https://prereview.org/">the PREreview platform</a>, we have a DOI for each review and location linked to preprint servers on which to share our feedback freely. Open reviews, credited to reviewers, may be a more incentivising practice than closed reviewing for for-profit journal entities, and could motivate the understanding that reviews are pieces of scholarly work in and of themselves.</p>

<p>We have now completed several reviews, and it’s been empowering to think together about how to convey positive, constructive feedback in an open way. Taking preprints seriously as a valuable dissemination practice has fostered discussions about their value as a more equitable, self-determined approach to sharing research than through traditional routes. Hopefully, we have also contributed useful insights to the preprints we have reviewed! We now review preprints on a regular basis, and look forward to continuing in our ReproducibiliTea meetings into the future.

The content of these discussions is, however, typically kept private. We think that this is a missed opportunity to share ideas with the wider community, learn from each other, and contribute to the scholarly discourse. At the same time, we believe that ReproducibiliTea journal clubs that focus mainly on topics related to improving research practices, could also incorporate peer review training into their programmes.
<br /></p>

<p>Therefore, ReproducibiliTea and the UK Reproducibility Network (UKRN) decided to collaborate on a new project: <strong>Post-publication reviews by ReproducibiliTea journal clubs</strong>. Importantly, this project is not about finding errors in other researchers’ work, but rather about conducting <strong>constructive critical reviews</strong>, including highlighting the positive aspects of articles. With this project we aim to contribute to peer review training for early career researchers, stimulate critical thinking and discussion, encourage the sharing of results of the journal club discussions, and encourage early career researchers to contribute to scholarly discussions. Moreover, we also hope to foster a constructive and engaged post-publication culture and to make post-publication reviewing common practice. The journal clubs are free to decide whether and how to implement this project in their journal clubs: which article to review, how to conduct the review, how to write a commentary, if and where to publish. The steering committee provides resources to make it as easy as possible to start: a list with suggested review targets, peer review guidelines and recommendations, as well as a list of venues where commentaries could be published and a list of funding opportunities.
<br /></p>

<p>Because this project is still in its pilot phase (start January 2025), these documents are not publicly available yet. Interested in participating in the project? Send us an email: reproducibilitea@gmail.com and we will send you more information including resources.

<p>We believe this project is also a good opportunity to raise understanding of the current peer review system. Therefore, in October 2025, we organised two <strong>webinars on the topic of peer review and its diversification</strong> <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xuFoCPYjMzKZ2kpBVBgXHVTPXl8stghAA9e6sVWdaEA/">(more info)</a>. The video recordings are available on our <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL71JDbaBfy83TrUALV3sNQmlMblllftF7">YouTube channel</a>. 
<br /></p>

<p>We encourage journal clubs to discuss these topics further at their meetings. There are many thought-provoking readings on: peer review and its shortcomings (e.g., Byrne &amp; Barnett, 2024; Cooke et al., 2024; Huber et al., 2022), self-correcting mechanisms in science (e.g., Hardwicke et al., 2022; Vazire &amp; Holcombe, 2022) or on ideas to improve the peer review system: e.g., structured peer review (Malički, 2024), open continuous peer review (Nosek &amp; Bar-Anan, 2012), diversifying peer review (Alves, 2025; Munafò et al., 2017), preprint review (Avissar-Whiting et al., 2024) and post-publication review (Barbour &amp; Stell, 2020; O’Sullivan et al., 2021). Last but not least, we think it is vital to consider the topics of scholarly publishing (e.g., Casadevall et al., 2024), research quality (e.g., Langfeldt et al., 2020), and research assessment (e.g., Trueblood et al., 2025).
