So glad to hear that, and thanks for the added reference to letsfund!
On peer review I agree with Edo’s comment, I think it’s more about setting a standard than about improving specific papers.
On IP, I think this is very complex and I think “IP issues” can be a barrier both when something is protected and when it’s not. I have personally worked in the periphery of projects where failing to protect/maintain IP has been the end of road for potentially great discoveries, but also seen the other phenomena where researchers avoid a specific area because someone else holds the IP. It would be interesting to get a better understanding both of the scale of these problems and if any of the initiatives that currently exists seem promising for improving it.
