Comments on: Requesting your feedback: how should life scientists set standards for preprints? https://asapbio.org/gov/ Fri, 04 Apr 2025 22:28:43 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9 By: Kevin Black https://asapbio.org/gov/#comment-40 Fri, 04 Apr 2025 22:28:43 +0000 http://pl-asapbio.local/gov/#comment-40 To your question of who should be governing body members:
I think the suggestions above are too inclusive for leadership. You want people who have published _extensively_ in medicine or the life sciences and who have shown a commitment to open science, e.g. by publishing preprints, posting data or software, submitting Registered Reports, or writing about the virtues of open science.

After all, early feedback is one of the original goals of the preprint concept.
