    In a nutshell

    We are about empowering everyday scientists by giving them a platform to amplify their view of what makes new science great and what findings need to be evaluated more carefully.

    Goals and intentions

    Mainstream adoption of a critical attitude toward published science

    Beautiful, impactful, featureful medium for expression

    Reffit's goal is to absorb the low-key, informal and honest tone of
    journal club criticism onto a platform where the discussion can be
    shared and distilled. The comments are free-form, but the site allows
    commenters to specify whether their comment was positive or negative,
    and whether it referred to a paper's reproducibility, novelty or
    coolness, and that metadata is used to get a numerical summary of
    those feelings.
