Paid to peer review: firms are paying researchers to assess manuscripts for journals (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Should researchers be paid to review papers? The question has long been fiercely debated. Now, a study has uncovered an apparent market for peer review, operating through third-party firms that offer services to scholarly publishers. In a preprint posted on MetaArXiv on 8 September, a team of researchers identified some 1,000 online advertisements for âfreelanceâ peer-reviewer jobs and report how they interviewed five working and retired researchers in India, Spain and the United Kingdom who
Take a risk or play it safe? Neuronal tug-of-war helps the brain decide (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some of the most rewarding decisions we make in life come with risk: do you take that job with a higher salary if it means moving to a new city and starting your life afresh? Itâs an achingly tough choice. Now, researchers have observed how neuronal circuits in the human brain resolve such a dilemma in real time, revealing a âtug of warâ between rival neuronal groups during the moments before a decision is made. In a study1 published in Nature Neuroscience on 15 September, researchers reco
âMultifunctionalâ brain implant translates speech and gestures in real time (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Human communication relies on more than just talking; we nod, shrug, move our hands and point with our fingers. For people with severe paralysis, brainâcomputer interfaces (BCIs) can convey intended speech or movement. Now, researchers have shown that a single brain implant can do both at once. The device, described1 today in Nature Neuroscience, is the first to translate both verbal and non-verbal modes of communication, simultaneously and within seconds of the userâs intent. It uses artifi
Undocumented migration does not raise crime rates, huge study finds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Neighbourhoods across the United States that experienced a growth in their undocumented population also saw property-related and violent crime fall, not rise, according to an analysis of 11,500 neighbourhoods in more than 100 cities.

This AI tool claims to pick the top 1% of preprints. Should researchers trust it? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A growing number of private firms are offering researchers artificial-intelligence tools for scrutinizing manuscripts before publication. One such system, developed by a start-up called QED Science in Tel Aviv, Israel, aims to judge whether life-sciences research is original and valid.
