The Preprint: Integrating the Form into the Scholarly Ecosystem

According to Wikipedia, the preprint is a “version of a scholarly or
scientific paper that precedes publication in a peer-reviewed
scholarly or scientific journal”. Preprint archives, such as arXiv and
SSRN, rapidly achieved prominence in both the hard and social sciences
as rapid access to new work became a priority. It’s wonderful to have
those platforms, but what are best practices for libraries and other
content providers in working with them? Should preprints be assigned
DOIs? What relationship should exist between pre-prints and discovery
services? What is the interoperability with link resolvers like? What
are the implications for citation practices?

Confirmed speakers include (among others):

Gregg Gordon, SSRN
Mark Seeley, SciPubLaw
Neil Thakur, NIH
John Inglis, Cold Spring Harbor Press
Darla Henderson, American Chemical Society (ACS)
Matthew Spitzer, Center for Open Science
