⭐ "I enjoyed the course immensely; the breadth and depth of information that was presented was extraordinary" ⭐ In September, Monique Oude Luttikhuis, translator and editor of medical and scientific content, attended the EASE School for Manuscript Editors and Academic Authors. In this blog post for SENSE the Society, she describes her experience of the course, and details four key things she learnt from it https://lnkd.in/edduEwWJ #EASEevents #ManuscriptEditing #ScienceEditing #Translation #MedicalEditing

Find us on Bluesky! Join us, and thousands of other researchers and publishing industry professionals, in setting up an account on Bluesky as an alternative to Twitter. We've been there for about a year, but the past couple of months have seen the platform really take off, particularly with the integration between BSky and Altmetric, it looks like it will become a great place for discussing research, and even more organisations, institutions and individuals will head over. Get in early(ish) and get your profiles set up - use the Starter Pack pinned to the top of our profile to follow 100+ accounts of key EASE Council and community members to get going on the platform. https://lnkd.in/es_rb7nJ #SocialMedia #Twitter #Bluesky #TwitterExodus

New in EASE journal, European Science Editing, Bahar Mehmani and Mario Malički present a structured checklist of peer review questions to improve consistency and quality of referee reports. https://lnkd.in/eEWtgvY7 The checklist has been developed through implementation of structured peer review question bank, and interview sessions with editors, reviewers, and authors in Elsevier’s pilot study of journals in 2023. Combining findings from the analysis of the reviewers’ responses received through the trial review forms, and interviewees’ feedback, Mehmani & Malicki have revised the structured list of questions and present them in this paper in checklist form, to be adopted by journals to enhance their reviewing processes.

In this new Correspondence article in European Science Editing, Joshua Wang discuss how retractions do not just correct the scientific record, but serve as crucial datapoints that inform meta-research and research education.

EASE member Jeremy Y. Ng , who will be speaking at the Autumn Symposium on Tuesday, has just published this article in The Lancet Digital Health to better understand medical researchers' attitudes and perceptions towards the use of AI chatbots in the scientific process. This international survey investigates the extent to which researchers are familiar with AI chatbots, their perceptions of the potential benefits and limitations of their use in scientific research, and the factors that might influence their adoption. A great prelude to Jeremy’s session at our Symposium next week. https://lnkd.in/d3KNCasr
