As I’ve said multiple times before, the solution to reviewer fatigue isn’t fewer (more voluminous) publications or AI, but more preprints without formal peer review. Happy to see that others such as ludowaltman.bsky.social seem to agree![contains quote post or other embedded content]

1/2 Study led by @wenfeixian.bsky.social revisiting somatic mutations in the Napoleon Oak now out after peer review, using @pacbio.bsky.social data to improve the genome assembly. Wenfei also developed a clever way to map short reads to a highly heterozygous genome.https://academic.oup.com/g3journal/article/15/8/jkaf143/8171354
