‘Why do some researchers have reservations about preprints? Let’s ask them’
March 25, 2021 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm UTC+0
While the use of preprints in the life sciences is increasing, some researchers have concerns about posting their own work to a preprint server or more generally about the use of preprints for research dissemination.
This can be due to the lack of peer review for preprints, the approach to research communication in specific disciplines or other reasons.
In our Community Call on March 25, Iratxe and the ASAPbio Fellow Yamini Ravichandran chaired a conversation with two speakers who shared their reservations about preprints:
- Howard Browman, Principal Research Scientist at the Institute of Marine Research in Bergen (Norway), Editor-in-Chief of ICES Journal of Marine Science, Member of Council, Committee on Publication Ethics, Member, Editorial Policy Committee, Council of Science Editors
- Seth Leopold, Professor at the University of Washington School of Medicine (US), Editor-in-Chief of Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research
