Episode 24 - Katarzyna Marcinkiewicz [Nature Communications]: The job of a full-time editor, transparency and other novelties in publishing, and coaching the review process

Send us Fan MailIn episode 24, Katarzyna talks about the everyday concerns and common threads of an editor's job, from continuously learning about the rapid developments in the field to navigating the review process. She shares some inside stories about the experimental features that journals tinker with these days, and it's good to know that many interesting ideas are being tested out there in the wild. We then discuss a bit about the evolution of the publishing process, including its perception among us research scientists. We largely leave the questions of profits and finance out of the conversation, so this is purely a conversation between two science aficionados who care deeply about the scientific enterprise being transparent, just, open to novelty and focused on quality evidence.
