163: eLife's new peer review model
Dan and James discuss eLife's new peer review model, in which they no longer make accept/reject decisions at the end of the peer-review process. Instead, papers invited for peer review will receive an assessment from eLife and the peer reviews will be shared on eLife's website. It's up to author if they would like revise their manuscript or publish their paper as the version of record.

Customer Reviews
Thoroughly useful
These dudes have taught me a lot about reproducibility (of scientific findings and of well-executed insults). Solid content.
Unprofessional and uninformed
Nairo Quintana's brother is great in this.
Great podcast
Good to hear scientists talking like actual people, too many science podcasts sound too much like conference discussions. Good work lads!
