A recent ASAPbio Community Call (February 26, 2025) was inspired by a preprint titled ‘Mapping the preprint review metadata transfer workflows.’ The preprint is a working group product borne out of the, ‘Supporting interoperability of preprint ... Maria presented first, defining preprint review metadata as “all kinds of information about the review record,” e.g., reviewer name, affiliation, link to preprint being reviewed, review outcome, assigned score, and more.
Today, in tandem with the release of a preprint entitled “A systematic examination of preprint platforms for use in the medical and biomedical sciences setting,” we’re happy to present a searchable directory of preprint platforms relevant to life sciences, biomedical, and clinical research. You can use this directory to identify a preprint server that fits your needs as an author or gain a better understanding of compliance with funder recommendations.
The directory and preprint were produced as part of a research project led by Naomi Penfold and Jamie Kirkham. For further details about how the data were gathered, refer to the source data. Provisional results were presented in January at the #bioPreprints2020 meeting.
