Post-publication peer review analysis

This week the 27th International Conference on Science, Technology and Innovation Indicators organise by CWTS will be held in Leiden University. I will have the opportunity to make an oral communication in a session on Open Science, presenting preliminary results of scientometrics analysis of the past Post-Publication Peer Review (PPPR) PubMed Commons (PMC). PPPR is central in Open Science to ensure science transparency. This work is a first attempt to describe the publications targeted by PPPR comments on PMC, the nature of comments, and the profile of commenters, using various methodological approaches (multivariate analysis, clustering, sentiment analysis) with semi-directed interviews with sociologist colleagues from Center Emile Durkheim. This work is supported by ANR with a research grant (project Skeptiscience, grant# ANR-20-CE26-0008) to Michel Dubois (Paris-Sorbonne University).
