Bash my brother’s paper – for the good of mankind

My brother’s lab has a new paper in PLoS One, and he wants to use it to jumpstart our efforts to get postpublication commenting rolling:

I am offering up my paper as a case study. If you comment and ask questions or make critiques, I will try to respond. And if you think something in our paper is wrong or weird, please say so. If you think something in our paper is supported by other work we do not cite, please say this too. If you have anything useful to say, please make comments.

How do you do this? 

  • Go to the paper at the PLoS One Web Site.
  • In the upper right click on “Login” if you have an account or “Create account” if you do not.
  • Return to the paper once you are logged in
  • Find some part of the text you want to comment on
  • Highlight that text and click over on the right “Add a note” or “Make a comment”
  • Fire away.
