If you coordinate a PREreview Club, we’ve got news for you Now club leads can ask us to attach a review to their club’s page directly within the review workflow. No need to email us! Learn more about this and other optimizations for clubs in today’s Weeknote: content.prereview.org/prereview-pl...

PREreview platform news, 17 July 2026

We added a new optimization to our review workflow for PREreview Clubs. If you are a club lead, you can now let us know from within the review workflow itself that we should attach that review to your...

Are interacting species showing more similar responses to environmental predictors than expected by chance? Is this similarity protecting species pairs from interaction disruption under climate change? If you want to find out, join us for a fully funded Ph.D. with @epic-biodiversity.org 🌎🧪

ÉPICBiodiversity@epic-biodiversity.org · 3mo ago

Join us! We are looking for a Ph.D. student to work on the response of ecological network structure to environmental drivers; this line of research can be adapted to questions on climate change, phylogenetic conservatism, and more! 🧪🌎 epic-biodiversity.org/opportunities/

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

Follow the outputs of the PREreview + @continuous.foundation Modular Peer Review Working Group in real time 🙌 🧩 Session 2 was all about identifying reviewable components from multiple stages of research, and associating them with different signals or evaluation functions: bit.ly/3PG1stO

Modular Peer Review Working Group

A working group hosted by Continuous Science Foundation (CSF) and PREreview exploring how peer review can evolve in a modular publishing ecosystem.

I'm reviewing a PhD candidate's comprehensive exam manuscript for tomorrow (I'm late! I know!) and 1. I can't believe people delegate that to LLMs nowadays - it's so much fun! 2. It feels outdated to ask students to go through qualifying exams and hand over a PDF for evaluation in 2026.

Open Education Week 2026 is coming the first week of March! #OEWeek26 In 2024 and 2025 we featured communities around the world using PKP's scholar-led, community developed #OpenMonographPress for open education. Are you using OMP to share knowledge openly? Tag us! pkp.sfu.ca/2024/03/06/o...

Open Monograph Press (OMP) for Open Education - Public Knowledge Project

PKP celebrates Open Education Week by sharing open monographs and textbooks published using its free Open Monograph Press (OMP).

Preprint alert 🚨 (yes, I still go online, shocker) Scaling from Metawebs to Realised Webs: A Hierarchical Approach to Network Ecology TL;DR: Networks are like… weirdly finicky and if you want your network analysis to not be a sad chaos, check this preprint: [https://doi.org/10.32942/X2JW8K] 🏠💻

Looking for examples: do you know any OSS projects that have thoughtfully updated their contribution process for AI-assisted PRs? Interested in: * PR templates asking for intent/reasoning * Comprehension checks * Other friction-adding methods Would love to learn from communities experimenting here
