Thankfully @gigabytejournal.bsky.social still maintains that open and FAIR peer review policy. So I hope that #openscience ethos at least continues there youtu.be/Ov_X5eYJhe4?...

I still strongly believe in #openpeerreview, so its a shame that @gigascience.bsky.social have removed that policy without any announcement. We brought this in to reduce COIs (see doi.org/10.1186/2047...), which reduces trust when they now publish so many BGI papers with obfuscated reviewer names

We are submitting this to Gigascience, and we are working on a super easy online tool to predict lambda-max from an opsin sequence. Stay tuned for that before too long!
