SUMMARY:Preprints in Japan and China: perspectives from Jxiv and Sciencepaper Online
DESCRIPTION:The popularity and acceptance of preprints vary among scientific disciplines and geographical regions. Some environments (e.g. research disciplines\, funder and institution policies) are more supportive of researchers preprinting their manuscripts\, while others may discourage it. \nDuring this Community Call\, we engaged in conversation about perceptions of preprints among research communities in East Asia. \nRitsuko Nakajima (Jxiv\, Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST)) and Min Li (Sciencepaper Online\, The Center for Science and Technology Development of the Ministry of Education\, People’s Republic of China) discussed how the environments in their regions\, institutions\, and different scientific disciplines influences the popularity\, acceptance\, and perception of preprints among researchers in East Asia.

SUMMARY:Promoting equity in visibility\, curation and evaluation of preprints
DESCRIPTION:Preprints are freely accessible\, but there are persistent disparities in the visibility and attention paid to preprints according to the authors’ institutions\, geographical area\, language and other backgrounds. \nIn this Community Call\, we discussed how to promote equity in making preprints visible. Bianca Kramer (Sesame Open Science) spoke about how different databases index preprints and whether this may impact how researchers engage with preprints. Maurine Neiman (University of Iowa)\, Preprint Editor for Proceedings B\, shared strategies and risks around scouting preprints\, and steps editors can take to ensure a more equitable approach to identifying preprints of interest. \nYou can read a summary of the Community Call at our blog post.

SUMMARY:Preprints in Progress
DESCRIPTION:At our Community call in June\, we explored how we can expand the use of preprints beyond the deposition of papers ready for journal submission. \nPreprints are increasingly used for the dissemination of research\, however\, most preprints still take the form of traditional research papers posted shortly before submission to a journal. \nASAPbio believes that we can accelerate research by substantially expanding the use of preprints to report a wide range of outputs: early-stage results from a small set of experiments\, negative or inconclusive findings \, confirmatory results\, and much more. At the Community Call\, we covered: \n\nASAPbio’s vision and plans for our ‘Preprints in progress’ project that seeks to expand the use of preprints.\nAlexandra Navarro from the Whitehead Institute (MIT\, US) spoke about her experience with the preprint she posted to share early results from her project\, and which she has been shaping over the last year based on community feedback.

SUMMARY:Data sharing with preprints – where do we stand and where next?
DESCRIPTION:At our March Community call \, we discussed data sharing with preprints. \nMany journals now have data sharing policies but in the context of preprints different communities are still developing their own data-sharing practices. At the call we heard the perspectives from a researcher and a data repository about the importance of sharing data with preprints and we discussed with attendees what steps can support data sharing at the time of preprint deposition. \nSpeakers: \n\nJames Fraser\, Professor\, Dept of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences\, University of California San Francisco\nDaniella Lowenberg\, Product Manager for Dryad

SUMMARY:Posting journal-solicited reviews on preprints
DESCRIPTION:Publish Your Reviews is an initiative emerging from the July 2021 #FeedbackASAP meeting that encourages researchers to post journal-commissioned reviews publicly as comments on preprints whenever the reviewed article is available as a preprint. \nIn this ASAPbio Community Call\, we learned about the motivations and specifics of Publish Your Reviews from the speakers below\, and solicited input on how the initiative can address any implications for authors and the confidentiality of journal peer review. \n\nJames Fraser\, ASAPbio Vice President and Professor\, UCSF\nLudo Waltman\, Professor of Quantitative Science Studies and Deputy Director at the Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS) at Leiden University

SUMMARY:Understanding geographical disparities in preprint trends
DESCRIPTION:While the use of preprints in the life sciences is increasing\, disparities in adoption remain. \nOne of the main disparities relates to differences in preprint posting across countries\, a large proportion of preprints are posted by authors based in North America and Europe. In our Community Call on September 1\, we heard how the use of preprints is developing in different geographical regions\, and discussed drivers and barriers around preprint use for researchers in different regions with the speakers: \n\nAlex Mendonça\, Online Submission & Preprints Coordinator\, SciELO Brazil\nThabiso Motaung\, Lecturer at the University of Pretoria\, South Africa

SUMMARY:Bringing culture change to science communication
DESCRIPTION:Preprints are often discussed in the context of broader culture change in science communication. Culture change can be a complex process that requires time and multiple approaches to facilitate a transition into new norms and practices. \nIn our Community Call on May 24\, we hosted a roundtable discussion with three speakers involved in changing scientific culture. We explored the approaches they have taken and what they have learned about what works (and does not) in supporting sustainable and scalable shifts in research practices. \n\nClarissa Carneiro\, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) and the Brazilian Reproducibility Initiative\, ReproducibiliTea Brazil.\nBrian Nosek\, Executive Director at Center for Open Science.\nMalvika Sharan\, Community Manager and Research Associate at The Alan Turing Institute (UK) and co-Founder of The Open Life Science program.

SUMMARY:‘Why do some researchers have reservations about preprints? Let’s ask them’
DESCRIPTION:While the use of preprints in the life sciences is increasing\, some researchers have concerns about posting their own work to a preprint server or more generally about the use of preprints for research dissemination. \nThis can be due to the lack of peer review for preprints\, the approach to research communication in specific disciplines or other reasons. \nIn our Community Call on March 25\, Iratxe and the ASAPbio Fellow Yamini Ravichandran chaired a conversation with two speakers who shared their reservations about preprints: \n\nHoward Browman\, Principal Research Scientist at the Institute of Marine Research in Bergen (Norway)\, Editor-in-Chief of ICES Journal of Marine Science\, Member of Council\, Committee on Publication Ethics\, Member\, Editorial Policy Committee\, Council of Science Editors\nSeth Leopold\, Professor at the University of Washington School of Medicine (US)\, Editor-in-Chief of Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research
