Graphic depicting and describing different Creative Commons licenses for preprints
Presentation for WACCBIP annual conference 2019, July 24-26. This slide deck includes slides adapted from those originally made by Jessica Polka (https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6610-9293) and Michael Johansson (http://orcid.org/0000-0002-5090-7722), and with resources contributed by ASAPbio ambassadors (https://asapbio.org/asapbio-ambassadors) and the TRANSPOSE team (https://transpose-publishing.github.io/#/).
These data and chart present an approximate calculation of the proportion of preprints in biology when compared to publications in PubMed, based on monthly figures and incorporating monthly preprint submissions (or counts) across a selection of servers relevant to biology. Version 1.0 of these data represents data from January 2007 until May 31, 2019 for preprint servers: arXiv q-bio, Nature Precedings, F1000Research*, PeerJ Preprints*, bioRxiv**, Winnower*, preprints.org, Wellcome Open Research*. [* Counts may not be specific to biology preprints only; ** Counts may include all versions posted that month, so may be an overestimate for version 1 submissions.]
