Sam Diaz-Munoz @sociovirology·

@PracheeAC Preprints and feedback thereof from the community are such a powerful buffer against negative closed peer review experiences. Right, @jessicapolka? #ishouldwritesomething #ASAPbio

ASAPbio @ASAPbio_·

So #REF2021 is coming.

As you prepare for your unit's submissions, consider whether that latest manuscript could be worth submitting in preprint form – #preprints are eligible for REF: https://t.co/HrkXkLi5rt #asapbio

Naomi Penfold @npscience·

I'll be watching this interview with @datadryad and @ASAPbio_ #preprints hats on -- how do funders track and recognise data sharing? for which purposes do they promote data sharing? how does this align with what researchers want? how early could data be shared? #asapbio
