Reproducibility and open science are great, but they don't necessarily equate to rigor. You can perfectly share a study and still draw weak conclusions. True rigor lives in the questions we ask, the designs we choose, and the inferences we make.

Lots to think about in my annual roundup of peer review research: - AI, mostly bad; some suggestions of ways it may help - Evidence on financial rewards for peer review - Influence of editors' biases More on equity & diversity; librarians & systematic reviews absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2026/02/02/5...

Thrilled to have collaborated with @mlrethlefsen.bsky.social & Sara Schroter (& the wonderful librarians involved in our study) on this new article in BMJ Open. TL;DR: Librarians have expertise to support evidence synthesis & many would happily be peer reviewers! bmjopen.bmj.com/content/15/1...

Just sent an e-mail to Embase Support Centre about a very strangely indexed paper... I'm used to funny 'mistakes', but this definitely gets the cake. Any other #medlibs ever seen something like this before?
