Fantastic perspective on peer review by @rorinstitute.bsky.social, with some great ideas for future improvements to the current limping system: doi.org/10.6084/m9.f...

The Future of Peer Review: A system-wide perspective

This report presents the main outcomes of the PEER REVIEW project conducted by the Research on Research Institute (RoRI) from 2023 to 2026. It draws on the substantial literature on peer review as well as 39 in-depth interviews with experts from across the research system, including policymakers, funders, publishers, editors, researchers and others. Peer review is often seen as one of the cornerstones of the research system. At the same time, many researchers and other actors in the system have expressed deep concerns about dysfunctions of peer review. In response to this, much work has been done to assess and improve peer review in individual domains, notably within research funding, scholarly publishing, career advancement, and assessment of research units.However, by considering peer review in each domain in isolation, knowledge about peer review has remained fragmented, offering a weak basis for strengthening the organisation of peer review.In this report, we take a systemic perspective on peer review across domains. Rather than focusing on incremental process-level innovations in individual domains, we conclude there is a need for system-wide reform in peer review. We outline future pathways for such reform.

This is really worrying and would impede all the great science being done through sharing data (including testing reproducibility). It would be yet another blow to the US position as an international leader in science.

A new perspective on the confusing term of “cognitive reserve” from Rik Henson the importance of multiple brain measures in explaining why some people maintain their cognition into late life: https://doi.org/10.1177/23982128261422282

Another interesting paper from LifeBrain consortium suggesting that sex differences in healthy brain aging are unlikely to explain higher prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease in women www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Sex differences in healthy brain aging are unlikely to explain higher Alzheimer’s disease prevalence in women | PNAS

As Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is diagnosed more frequently in women, understanding the role of sex has become a key priority in AD research. However,...

New CamCAN study led by @praykov.bsky.social used 11 different white matter (WM) measures to show that WM health is multidimensional: 4 latent MRI-derived factors explained 89% of WM variance, were predicted by vascular health, and predicted cognition: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

More fantastic work on the importance of pulse pressure from @kamentsve.bsky.social ...

MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, University of Cambridge@mrccbu.bsky.social · last yr.

Recent research from CamCAN shows that, when pulse pressure, the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure, gets too high, it can damage the brain’s “wiring” (white matter), making it harder to think fast and solve puzzles: doi.org/10.1161/HYPE... @camcan-2010.bsky.social
