What is preprint review?

In this video, Jane Alfred (Catalyst Editorial Ltd) and Iratxe Puebla (formerly ASAPbio) provide an overview of preprint review, including its benefits to researchers and the research community. They describe different platforms available for preprint review.

Expert peer evaluation of research has tremendous value. By publishing your peer reviews, you create a creditable record of your scholarly contribution.

Experimenting with Peer Review

Though it might seem like a permanent fixture of research, peer review as currently practiced is less than 50 years old. Learn about different ways to evaluate research.

Crowd Review

ASAPbio manages crowds that collaboratively peer review preprints. Each month, crowd leads select a preprint, aggregate the crowd’s feedback, publish the review, and share it with the preprint’s authors. The innovative process provides rapid, yet comprehensive, feedback.

Review Commons

Created in collaboration with ASAPbio, Review Commons manages review of preprints for authors and connects them with participating journals who consider their refereed preprint for publication. Centralizing review reduces review burden on the community as a whole.
