    Do you work with phylogenetic trees with thousands or millions of taxa? Are you looking for a Python tool that makes this fast and simple? Try SuchTree! Guaranteed to cause 50% fewer brain aneurysms than the leading brand! Now peer-reviewed and citeable!

    I agree with the piece. The quick retraction of the "uncanny" paper shows that peer review on works, in fact in my view much better than the current system based on 2-3 anonymous peer-reviewers prior to publication

    Wu et al. independently confirmed that the closest relatives to the virus are bat SARS-like Coronaviruses. 3/15

    Zhou et al. identified the virus, sequenced the viral genome of 5 early patients, proving recent emergence of the virus due to sequence similarity between patients. 2/15

    Alright. Inspired by this tweet, I decided to read all relevant preprints (about 30 in all). Here's what I've found, a thread. 1/15

    Authors of disputed “uncanny” 2019-nCoV preprint to voluntarily withdraw preprint: "It was not our intention to feed into the conspiracy theories...we appreciate the criticisms...and will get back with a revised version”

    Fellow and tweeps, there's a lot of preprints that could use your eyes on their methodology. Contribute to the global response by helping others evaluate the science. Here's my bit:

    We have enormous power to decide among ourselves what the labor conditions of science are like. Right now, they are not so great for most of us. How we treat preprints is very much connected to how we treat junior scientists, which is a CRITICAL PROBLEM facing our community.

    Imagine a community where you can be wrong, in public, in writing, and instead of being shot down and humiliated, your colleagues rushed to your aid and helped you fix the errors in your science. Let's be THAT community.

    Imagine how much more creative and productive you could be if you could get feedback from your whole community while you were still developing your ideas. Imagine if that feedback was constructive and kindly meant. I want us to be THAT community.

    We don't need to be outraged when we see something wrong with a preprint. We DO need to fix it. The preprint system calls for a higher degree of skepticism of the science, but ALSO a higher degree of compassion for the authors.

    If we aren't participating in that process, we aren't living up to our responsibilities to our colleagues. It should not matter what the platform is. It could be a journal, or a preprint, or a blog post, or a tweet. The PRINCIPLES of peer review are the same.

    Just like regular journal articles don't work without editors and reviewers acting with personal integrity, preprints don't work without the community acting with integrity. Whatever you believe about preprints, you know that we all need our work checked.

    We could have, and we should have, spent those critical first few hours engaging with the authors to help them get a corrected draft up. We could have, and we should have, cared about them as colleagues. We could have, and we should have, acted like a community.

    After some reflection on the on Pradhan et al. (the infamous "Uncanny similarity" preprint), I have some thoughts. The analysis and interpretation is certainly flawed, but that is not a reason to pillory its AUTHORS. We expect preprints to have flaws. That is what they are for.

    There is more than one way to do this. You can post your reviews directly to as comments, or you can use . Look at all these preprints with ZERO reviews! Those zeros should guilt you EVERY BIT as much as a review request from your favourite editor.
