Date: Thursday, July 27, 2017
Time: 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm EDT
Location: Virtual
Registration: http://www.nfais.org/index.php?option=com_mc&view=mc&mcid=72&eventId=531541
====================================================================
What's the focus?
Twenty-five years ago, the creation of arXiv provided physicists with
an efficient way to share their manuscripts before peer review and
publication. Since then we have wondered why other discipines have
been slow to follow their lead. Until 2014 when others joined such as
bioRxiv, F1000 Research, PeerJ, The Winnower, PrePrints.org, and
Wellcome Open Research. Join us to gain insights into the cultural
dynamics that support PrePrints and explore how they can play an
increasingly supportive role in the existing research landscape.
What will our presenters cover?
What recent developments in a variety of disciplines, such as
ASAPbio.org, the American Chemical Society (ChemRxiv), the Center for
Open Science (PsyArXiv, AgriXiv, SocArXiv, and engXiv), the Scientific
Electronic Library Online (SciELO), and the Social Science Research
Network (SSRN), have populated the preprint landscape suggesting that
2017 be considered the "Year of the PrePrint"?
What makes the preprint culture work in terms of discovery and funding
sources along with the detection of plagiarism and junk science?
What factors such as cultural change, preprint policies at
universities, preprints' relationship to scholarly journals, and new
players will affect the infrastructure of preprints in the near
future?
