International Association for Social Science Information Service and Technology (IASSIST)’s Post

A fantastic read from Alice Meadows, Jasmine Wallace, and Karin Wulf who address the topical and timely questions this #PeerReviewWeek: - What does innovation in technology for #peerreview look like? - What is, or would be, the most valuable innovation in peer review for your community? - What opportunities and challenges does AI present in scholarly publishing? - How would we want to use technology in the service of peer review? Would it be equally valuable across all disciplines and communities or would it simply amplify existing differences and inequities? Peer Review Week Society for Scholarly Publishing

#OpenScience #CallforPapers #QualitativeResearch In recent years, we’ve seen changes in how quantitative research is conducted—things like #transparency, #preregistration, and #openscience measures are becoming more important. But when it comes to #qualitative research, we haven’t quite seen the same level of changes. Many qualitative researchers report that they face hurdles like privacy concerns or the lack of clear guidelines when trying to apply similar standards. That’s where our Special Issue Call at The Leadership Quarterly comes in! Our Special Issue team, consisting of George Banks, Andy Loignon, Rose McDermott, and myself, is calling on all #qualitative #leadership scholars—e.g., you who have been conducting interviews, analyzing text data, engaging in ethnographic studies, or using other qualitative innovative methods —to submit your best work. This Special Issue is your opportunity to contribute to a much-needed conversation about how we can make qualitative research more #replicable and open, without losing the depth and richness that make it so valuable. 💡 Until when can I submit? November 1, 2024 💡 What if I have a great idea or qualitative data set but don't know if it is suitable? Reach out to our team. Or consider submitting a Registered Report Proposal, which we also accept for this Special Issue - you can find some inspiration in the "New Ways of Seeing" Editorial that Roman Briker, George Banks, and I wrote for LQ! 💡 Where can I find more information? Check out the Call for Paper on the LQ website (link also provided in the comments). Whether you're working on #leadership, #followership, or #broader social influence dynamics, this is an opportunity to set new standards for rigor and become a best practice example for future research 💫 Let’s lead the way together; we are looking forward to receiving your scholarly work!

Is over-reliance on peer review hindering scientific progress? While it's vital for maintaining quality and credibility, excessive dependence can be a double-edged sword. It risks fostering bias, limiting innovative ideas, and slowing advancements. Science thrives on exploration, and when novel concepts clash with conventional thinking, they often face unwarranted delays. We must balance rigorous peer review with openness to new perspectives to drive progress. What are your thoughts—are we relying too much on peer review? How can we improve the process while encouraging innovation? Watch the video below to learn more. Luchuo Engelbert Bain #ScienceProgress #PeerReview #InnovationInScience

"What we need is to shift our focus from accepting 'science' sound bites at face value to critically evaluating the actual scientific process behind those findings—a practice that can actually inform business decisions in all industries." - Pelin Wood Thorogood ➡️ Rigorous evaluation detects biases, variables, and flaws, ensuring accurate, credible results. ➡️ #Science thrives on questioning answers and even the questions that shaped those answers.

Innovation and technology at the service of the researchers is what these organizations aim for. During Peer Review Week, we will be discussing how AI-driven tools impact peer review processes, and how innovations such as crowdsourced reviews compare to the "traditional" model. Join us Maria Machado, Jeffrey Koury, Dr. Anupama Kapadia, Gareth Dyke, Mary Miskin, and Shilpi Mehra for an insightful and lively discussion! Registration link in comments.
