Students rethinking science

Peer review, hands-on: Experience science "from the other side" with us and gain your first experience in peer review as a student reviewer - through a modern, transparent process. 

Student publishing: We create opportunities to experience academic publishing during your studies - even without previous experience and always closely supported by our team of editors! 

Inclusive networking: Complex challenges require interdisciplinary answers - we bring together all disciplines relating to the topic of health and make what we do understandable for everyone, within science and beyond.

Learning from each other We teach the principles of peer review, good and fair scientific work, and open science in high-quality student-led courses.  

Shaping scienceAs the scientists of tomorrow, students can harness their idealism to push boundaries and initiate cultural change - help shape it in various ways in our own ThinkTank!

I’m deeply impressed by the work of the [NOS] team. Not only do they provide students with valuable opportunities to publish their research projects, but they also promote innovative new ways of organizing scientific publishing, taking advantage of state-of-the-art open science developments. [NOS] offers a great example of what I hope the future of scientific publishing will look like!

In my opinion, [NOS] is exactly the right open access format for medical students - transparent, open, quality-assured through open peer review, independent. After so many years of the Open Access movement, it is a logical development for students to publish their publications Open Access and thus drive the cultural change towards Open Science in academia. The students of today are shaping the academic system of tomorrow. What particularly impresses me about [NOS] is the high motivation of the team and the very inviting, clear website and social media communication. I wish you every success and that you become a pioneer and role model for other projects of this kind. (translated)

Berlin Exchange has not only created a platform on which excellent research by students can be made visible and evaluated and published in professional and innovative processes, but also a network of motivated, committed, and courageous individuals who are already shaking up the academic world - in a positive sense. Inter- and transdisciplinary approaches are a matter of course for this generation, as is an awareness of the social dimensions of research and teaching. The Berlin University Alliance is proud to be able to support those who represent the future of science in all its facets. (translated)

Using knowledge exchange early on provides early-career scientist with an unmatched opportunity to accelerate their research.

Scientific publishing is definitely a topic for students! Why? Publishing work results promotes scientific exchange and also strengthens self-efficacy. Both are extremely important for students. [NOS] is doing a really great job of this. I am particularly impressed that [NOS] is developing its own peer review approach and training students in peer review. That's a big plus for the scientific community. (translated)
