@richardsever.bsky.social reflects on the birth of @biorxiv-medrxiv.bsky.social, the crucial role members of the community have played, the experience during the pandemic, & the launch of openRxiv set up to oversee the servers. It truly takes a village. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/... #OpenScience

In our first year as an independent nonprofit, we grew leadership & collaborations & saw recognition for preprints. There were also the most new @biorxiv-medrxiv.bsky.social preprints in a year yet! 🎉 Our year in review: openrxiv.org/2025-year-in... Thank you for continuing to build together. 💚

How might academia be decentralized? openRxiv CEO, @tracykteal.bsky.social, joined leaders from arXiv, Feinstein Institutes, and Mount Sinai to explore what decentralization would mean for science. Watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlNM... #OpenScience #AcademicPublishing
