So, you like prog and/or related genres and styles? Would you be interested in writing your opinion on newly released albums, or perhaps write other types of articles?
We are receiving more and more albums to review so we're looking to expand the team. Join the team of DPRP.net reviewers and be part of a website that has been on the forefront of prog writing for 30 years!
Send an email to vacancies@dprp.net and we'll take it from there!
For a change, a proper #milestone. 1000 reads on RG for the #Reticulate origin of modern plane trees (#Platanus, Platanaceae): A nuclear marker puzzle

It's profoundly comforting to see that one's work is still raising interest after more than a decade, especially, something that at the time of publication was harshly attacked by "expert #reviewers" –anonymously of course (#FightTheFog). And ignored by the botanical High Priests beyond the Big Pond 😎😎😎
I will say, my long game with the #BookSprout stuff is to have a review team willing to accept ARCs of "The Last Gift-Knight" once I have it ready to review. This time, I would prefer to get that part of the release going on schedule.
So, if for any reason you aren't interested in reading the already released 4 books available there, yet you are interested in the yet-to-be-released title, it's cool to just join the team and wait.

"I like to write book reviews because..."
Finish that sentence in a reply to this post, and say whether you like fantasy or science fiction, and I'll send you a free book!
(Technically speaking, I'll send you a code to download a free ebook.)
No obligation to review the book I send, although that would be sincerely appreciated.

Some #Elsevier #journals may not be putting much effort into choosing #qualified #experts as #peer #reviewers. Some of them asked Ivan Oransky, MD, of the blog #RetractionWatch to review four different COVID-19 papers. Here’s what Oransky says: https://retractionwatch.com/2021/03/09/elsevier-journals-ask-retraction-watch-to-review-covid-19-papers/

If you'd like to support my work but buying audiobooks isn't in your budget right now, I am always looking for reviewers! And I would love to get more reviews on my spooky books this month.
If you'd like to receive a free review copy of The Cauldron in exchange for a good faith review, send me a DM and let me know if you'd like a code for Amazon UK or Amazon US. It's that easy.
Happy Halloween. 💋

Top tips from PCI RR recommenders on 🔎 finding & 💌 inviting #reviewers of #RegisteredReports
🎓 Corina Logan checks for reviewer-author conflicts of interest (reviewers can’t have been co-authors w authors in the past 4 years) @ author Google scholar profiles by searching for the last names of the reviewers
✍️ Dieter Lukas says a personal message in the reviewer invitation increases acceptance rates by 32% (PeerJ). So add to the invitation “I would particularly welcome your expertise in X”

TIME TO LEAVE REVIEWS! @sambeawesome (on bsky) put together this idea that every 5th of the month we remind people to leave reviews on their recent reads!
I got the ARC of YOU PEOPLE ARE MONSTERS! Please like and share this so it gets to any #book #reviewers who might want to check out the #ARC!
It's the 5th of the month... It's time for another #5Star5th reminding you to review your recent reads! Invented by @sambeawesome (on bsky) I'm just helping propagate ;)
📢🥳 Great news! The QIC journal impact factor has increased from 0.7 to 0.8 — a 14% growth! 📈
A heartfelt thank you to our #authors, #reviewers, #readers, and the dedicated #editorialboard for your invaluable contributions. 🙌
