Not sure of the way forward, but this is the field right now.

Aidan Wright@aidangcw.bsky.social · 11h ago

One thing I struggle with is the fact that we seem to publish way too much as a field, and yet there are so many things that are left unexplored. Or things that need to be tested for generalizability and robustness. Not sure entirely sure how to balance these competing demands.

Kudos to @science.org for this self-analysis of the peer review process. These kind of data are never shared and don't have to be. Wildly refreshing to see it out in the open. Editorial and peer review dynamics at elite general science journals | Science Advances www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
