Recognizing Preprint Peer Review (2022)
December 1, 2022 @ 8:00 am - December 2, 2022 @ 5:00 pm UTC+0
Public review of preprints offers many benefits. It enables reviewers to focus on the science itself, allows authors to engage in constructive dialog with reviewers, and provides context on preprints for readers. cOAlition S and EMBO Postdoctoral Fellowships have recently announced that they recognize peer-reviewed preprints as peer-reviewed publications, and some journals are accepting reviews from services such as Peer Community In and Review Commons.
Sponsored by HHMI, ASAPbio, and EMBO, this meeting aimed to promote community consensus and support for preprint peer review and to create funder, institutional, and journal policies that recognize both preprints with reviews, and reviews of preprints.
