ASAPbio newsletter – vol 1

Thanks for subscribing to ASAPbio’s newsletter!

As part of the followup to last month’s productive meeting, ASAPbio organizers and attendees have been working to spread discussions about preprints to the broader community. Recent articles at Wired, NYTimes, and The Economist have certainly moved the needle in this regard!

Please help keep the conversation going by taking one or more of the following actions:

  1. Take the survey on preprint preferences here. We’re trying to understand what attributes of preprint servers are most desired by the community – and whether one or several would be most beneficial. You responses will remain confidential.
  2. Post a submission selfie – take a photo of yourself and your coauthors celebrating a preprint submission and post it here.
  3. Become an ASAPbio Ambassador – Sign up to act as a representative for ASAPbio efforts at your institution. We’ll get in touch to provide materials to make organizing local “town hall” events easier. We are preparing this material now and it should be available within one month at the preprint info center on ASAPbio.org.
  4. Help us keep track of progress by leaving a comment with any news (a change in journal policies, a local event – even in the early stages of organization – a new article, etc,)  here.

Best,

ASAPbio organizers

Mar 30, 2025
Preprinting in the life sciences has grown rapidly in recent years but still represents a very small fraction (~3%) of the biomedical literature published each year. One of ASAPbio’s major tasks is to engage the research community about continuing adoption and developing best practices for preprints – but we rely on fairly broad metrics when monitoring preprint adoption, and it would be informative to underst...

Life Science Research Funders Should Recommend or Require CC-BY Licenses for the Research They Fund

Mar 16, 2025
As stewards of the funds they award, life science research funders are eager to maximize the value of their grants. One low-cost way to do so is to recommend – or better yet require – grantees to publish the outputs of their research (including preprints) using Creative Commons attribution, or CC-BY, licenses.

2024 in Review: Empowering open science through the Review and Curate Network

Mar 11, 2025
Guest post written by Roseline Dzekem Dine (2023 ASAPbio Fellow) 2024 was transformative for the Review and Curate Network, as we championed open science, preprint sharing, and collaborative peer review in Rwanda and across Africa. This year, we launched impactful programs and saw significant milestones that reflected our mission to foster transparency and inclusivity in research.
