The crossover between open scholarship and personal data (Benjamin Schuster-Boeckler) This paper will look at the global conversation regarding the crossover between open scholarship and personal data, where the drive to make all data as Open Access as possible can lead to unclear grey areas with regards to the crossover with personal data. In particular, the question is driven from the conversation regarding how genomic data (whole genome sequencing) is being perceived as more and more personal data on the worldwide stage. A Community-Led Approach to Peer Review with PREreview (Vanessa Fairhurst) At PREreview our work is a direct response to the flawed way scientific research is evaluated. Behind closed doors, a handful of unpaid reviewers—selected opaquely andmainly through personal connections—use subjective criteria to decide the fate of a research article. PREreview leverages preprints to offer a more open, equitable, and community-driven alternative to the traditional peer review model. In this short talk, Vanessa will explore PREreview’s approach, which combines community building, training, and human-centered technology to foster constructive and transparent scholarly dialogue. She will also share ways for you to get involved and join us in revolutionizing the peer-review process.
