We are very pleased with the latest DataCite Metadata Schema 4.6 release as it further supports interoperability among persistent identifiers, with support for RRIDs (Research Resource IDentifiers) and CSTR (Common Science and Technology Resources) Identifiers to the relatedIdentifierType vocabulary. IYKYK 🤖 Many thanks, DataCite team!

We're thrilled to be featured in The Scholarly Kitchen, where our CEO and Co-founder, Dr. Anita Bandrowski, shares SciCrunch Inc.’s mission to tackle scientific reproducibility. Since 2016, we've empowered researchers and journals with Research Resource Identifiers (#RRID), now adopted by ~1,000 journals to enhance research integrity. Anita’s journey as a "recovering neuroscientist" has led us to innovations like SciScore, a tool helping over 250,000 authors ensure their work meets crucial standards. Her advice? Infrastructure is for those driven by meaningful, incremental change. Exciting times ahead as we continue making research more transparent and reliable! 👉 Interested in learning more about SciCrunch’s impact?

"Simone Ragavooloo argues that editors and reviewers should embrace AI tools to undertake the heavy lifting of statistical and methodological review and to allow them to focus on areas that require human expertise." We couldn't agree more 🤓 SciScore does just that, running methodological and - since version 3 - statistical review. Interested? Drop us a note!

We’re excited to connect with you next month at the Society for Neuroscience 🧠 Annual Meeting in Washington, #SfN2024. Be sure to stop by the Neuroscience Information Framework booth #1756 and meet our CEO, Anita Bandrowski or drop her a note at [email protected]. We are looking forward to seeing you in Chicago!

Exciting news! The American Heart Association is expanding SciScore's assessment of experimental rigor and reporting standards to additional journals. This follows a successful pilot project, which demonstrated that using SciScore to evaluate submitted manuscripts significantly improved several aspects of research article rigor. A big thank you to Jonathan Schultz for his ongoing support! Learn more about our findings and this announcement here👇

SciScore Version 3 (Beta) Released with New Statistics Module and Author/Reviewer Dashboard San Diego, 5 August 2024 SciCrunch Inc. is pleased to announce the release of SciScore Version 3 (Beta) with significant improvements. We've listened to our users; many authors reached out to us wanting to know how we calculate the score and how to improve their results. Additionally, several publishers expressed interest in a tool to check for statistics requirements during the peer review. In response, we've implemented the following notable improvements: A redesigned report interface featuring a new cover page that provides an at-a-glance summary of how well the paper adheres to rigor and transparency guidelines. Comprehensive explanations and suggestions throughout the report to help users improve their scores and understand the scoring rationale. We have added a brand new statistics module. Our AI checks the statistical methods used and guides expected reporting practices. We would like to thank the ODDPub team for their work, which enabled us to update the deposited data classifier. Anita Bandrowski, CEO of SciScore, commented on the release: "The SciScore Version 3 beta update will bring along a major improvement for our users with an easy-to-interpret cover page. At a glance, they will be able to see where they don’t adhere yet to policy guidelines and we’ve created a brand-new statistics module to help researchers to provide the right information on their reporting.”

We continue our series of interviews with our loyal customers and partners to celebrate SciScore's 5th anniversary! The next one is with Stephanie Dawson, CEO of ScienceOpen. ScienceOpen has been working with SciScore since last year within the framework of the Euro-Global Platform for Mechanism-based Drug Repurposing (REPO4EU) and we were interested to hear what she thought of us and more importantly, of the future of rigor and reproducibility. Many thanks, Stephanie! #rigor, #reproducibility, #scholarlypublishing, #RRID, #Transparency

We're counting down 🚀 🚀 🚀
