Over at @eLife, we’re eliminating accept/reject decisions and relinquishing the traditional journal role of gatekeeper.
This new model is our move towards a fairer system that helps researchers get recognition for what, not where they publish. Read more: elifesciences.org/articles/8…
ALT A schematic with symbols demonstrating the 5 steps of the new eLife publishing model with steps 1 to 5 as follows: Submission, Peer review, publication, author revision and version of record.

Our work on improving scientific conferences has been published. We assessed 270 in-person conferences and noted that many were lacking in sustainability, inclusivity and accessibility. We believe that a switch to virtual formats is crucial for science🧵👇🏼 dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41562-02…

The use of non-inclusive terms such as "blacklist" and "whitelist", or “master” and “slave” is increasing in the life sciences literature. Aziz Khan (@khanaziz84) calls for the academic community to expunge these archaic terms elifesciences.org/articles/6…
ALT "Language matters - it shapes the way we think, see and behave. As scientists, we have a responsibility to use language that is inclusive to everyone" read our latest feature article to find out more
