When talking about preprints, please feel free to reuse and build on the following resources, templates and master copies of ASAPbio resources, as per licence conditions: ASAPbio work is usually released for reuse under CC-BY licence (please reuse with attribution, no permission required but we love to hear if you’ve found it useful and any feedback you might have). Work from other contributors may be licensed differently, so please check!
Useful starting resources:
- A one-pager of basic information about preprints and hyperlinks to further information: bit.ly/preprint-info –versions adapted for researchers in the UK and Africa are available (please adapt it to any other context, and let us know if we can share it here!)
- PLOS’s preprints pages are a good example of how journals might communicate with their authors and readers
- The recent history of preprints in biology (slides): timelines of preprint adoption in biology from 2007 to now with key events and in comparison to the published biomedical literature (from this data)
