Collaborate with us!

Together, we can reimagine the future of science.

Community and collaboration are core to how ASAPbio works. We believe that change cannot be achieved alone or in a silo. Our history is firmly rooted in the power of community action.

The scale of the challenges facing scientific communication and academia are vast and impossible to overcome alone. But by combining our expertise, resources, perspectives and effort we can rise to the challenge. Together, we are greater than the sum of our parts.

Why collaborate with us?

We are dedicated to promoting a better scholarly communication system through transparent, accessible and rigorous sharing of research findings. Our primary focus is on preprinting in the life sciences. We bring over 8 years of experience in advocating for preprints, training of researchers and community building. We are experts in open science and preprints.

We’re a value-driven, evidence-led, organisation. Our proven track record of community-driven initiatives combined with experimental efforts such as establishing Review Commons position us as leaders in driving innovation and collaboration within the scholarly communication landscape.

Partnering with ASAPbio and PCI means joining a movement toward a fairer, more reproducible, and transparent research ecosystem. With ASAPbio’s promotion of preprints and our community-led peer review and publication system, we aim to reshape the way research is shared and evaluated, paving the way for a more equitable future in science.

The ASAPbio community has been a tremendous support network for Biophysics Colab during its transition from a preprint review service to a ‘Publish, Review, Curate’ journal. There are numerous efforts to experiment in this space and, by uniting them in one conversation, ASAPbio has facilitated the cross-fertilization of ideas across these diverse endeavours.

Through our partnership with ASAPbio, Europe PMC contributes to community efforts to establish and adopt preprint standards, enabling us to develop open tools and services for preprint discovery.

I trace my journey in Open Science and Open Scholarship back to the day I discovered preprints and the work of ASAPbio. From the start, ASAPbio has been instrumental in shaping the narrative, policy, and perception around the open dissemination of research through preprints. Their impact extends beyond advocacy—they actively engage with the community and cultivate strong partnerships with organizations like PREreview and many others who share a vision for a more open and equitable future of scholarly communication.

Working with ASAPbio has been indispensable for connecting our efforts in preprint peer review to others who are engaged in similar or complementary efforts. Without ASAPbio we would be working in our corner — rather than feeding and being fed by a whole ecosystem of folks working to achieve similar ends.
