BtBs seminar - Inside the Black Box: a Look Behind the Scenes of Scientific Publishing

Nonia Pariente, Editor-in-Chief, PLOS Biology, Public Library of Science, San Francisco, California, United States of America and Cambridge, United Kingdom.

The talk will give an overview of the processes that take place in a scientific journal, from submission of a study to the final decision, be it acceptance or rejection. This will include how editors make decisions on new manuscripts, how reviewers are selected and what is expected of them, as well as the habits of effective authors before submission and when preparing a revision. The talk will also give guidance on how to write the manuscript – importantly dos and don’ts of titles and abstracts-, as well as cover letters and rebuttals to reviewers, and will cover what is a useful presubmission enquiry, as well as when it makes sense to appeal a decision and how to do it. Lastly, we will cover basic concepts in Open Science, its effects on scientific advance, trust and reproducibility, and Open Science implementation.
