@JohnFBruno @ElDon78 @thePeerJ Ecosphere lacks all these things. Besides it’s just the heavily dated allen press system.

via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to JohnFBruno

@tpoi @altmetric @PLOS There is definitely some correlation there. People using FOSS are also less conservative academics.

@mwpennell possibly. Can you run a smaller job locally to make sure the update doesn’t break anything?
