Sally LowellHighly-respected non-profit journals like <a href="https://biologists.social/@Dev_journal" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@Dev_journal</a> support scientific communities. Authors are proud to publish there.But, when your paper is rejected by a glam journal, it is tempting to avoid re-review by sliding down commercial ecosystems But wait! Look! Development say “we will also consider papers with reviewer reports from other journals.” Game changer!Plus: rigorous and fair reviewing system that avoids excessive additional experiments. <a href="https://journals.biologists.com/dev/article/151/23/dev204523/363248/Constructive-Critics-Development-s-approach-to" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://journals.biologists.com/dev/article/151/23/dev204523/363248/Constructive-Critics-Development-s-approach-to</a><a href="https://biologists.social/tags/DevBio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DevBio</a>
