Anotehr blog post from me re: open research. This time on pre-prints: echr.group/2025/10/31/w... Not mentioned in that blog, but the folks @asapbio.bsky.social have a great resource on pre-printing here: asapbio.org/about/why-pr...

Sciety is bridging preprints and open social networks. Our latest integration with #Bonfire enables you to start a discussion on Sciety and federate anywhere; meeting researchers wherever they already are. blog.sciety.org/bridging-pre... #Fediverse #ActivityPub #NLnet

Enabling options for review: bioRxiv authors now have the option to send their preprints directly to @qedscience.bsky.social , an authors-centered AI review platform, for automated feedback on their paper. openrxiv.org/enabling-rev... #OpenScience #Preprints #openrxiv #qedscience #biorxiv

Finding it confusing licensing your work? @asapbio.bsky.social have created an FAQ covering the basics and commercial uses, supporting you to make an informed choice. #OpenAccess #OpenScience #PhDsky

Preprints are: 🎇 Free to read 🎇 Free to post 🎇 Accessible worldwide But the benefits don't end there! Want to learn how you can benefit from posting a preprint? Visit our website to learn more! 👉 buff.ly/XHCS3Bb

❔How can funders maximize the value of their grants? ✨Recommend – or better yet require – grantees to publish the outputs of their research using Creative Commons attribution, or CC-BY, licenses. Our blog post shares recommendations and examples of good practices👇

❓ Do preprints establish priority of discovery❓ Yes! ✨Preprints have a time stamp. ✨Preprints are publicly available. ✨Preprints can be cited. #OpenScience #research #science #OpeAccess

💡 Thinking about preprinting but unsure where to start? 📖 Check out “A Guide to Preprinting for Early Career Researchers”: 🔍 What preprints are & their relevance across disciplines 💬 Tips for discussing preprints with co-authors ✅ Preprint submission checklist

Elevate Preprint Feedback with FAST Principles! ✨Focused: Tackle the science, not the person. ✅Appropriate: Keep it respectful and bias-free. 🎯Specific: Provide actionable insights. 🌐Transparent: Be open about your role.

An example of how preprints allow researchers to have an official time stamp of making their research publicly available, and establish priority of the discovery.

It’s terrific to see such support for preprints from funders!

Preprints and open peer review are one of the potential new avenues for research dissemination and evaluation that are independent of journal publications.

Launching the new Participation Reports, already available at crossref.org/members/prep. Read about what's new and why more transparency on #openmetadata is important for movements like @barcelonadori.bsky.social, not to mention insights for members themselves doi.org/10.64000/8d5... #Crossref2025

Happy #OAweek all! Check out our latest myth busting short from our awesome resident Jade!

Check out the last myth of our myth-busting series created by the amazing ASAPbio Resident Xiuqi "Jade" Li! ❌ Myth 4: Posting a preprint online means I don’t need to think about copyright or licensing ✅ Truth: Copyright is automatic, and licensing is an active choice. buff.ly/lJZ1K3m

The Howard Hughes Medical Institute has just launched its newly updated policy for Immediate Access to Research! When HHMI scientists share CC BY licensed preprints, it allows others to immediately access and share cutting-edge science. @asapbio.bsky.social

Let's celebrate #OAWeek by busting Preprint myths! Heard the claim that posting a preprint will block journal publication? Not true. ✅ Most journals accept preprints (many even encourage them!) 📊 ~70% of preprints are eventually published in journals 👉 Watch the video to learn more! buff.ly/NfVvss0

We are celebrating #OAWeek by tackling common preprint myths! ❌ “Preprints aren’t peer-reviewed, so they must be of poor quality.”❌ 🎬 Watch the video to learn about the evidence why that’s not true 👇 buff.ly/MKjUzAo
