Following increased interest in may scientific societies\u2019 positions<\/a> on the use of preprints in NIH grant applications, several societies have released statements providing their perspectives.<\/p>\n

ASCB<\/a><\/h3>\n

The ASCB leadership, after careful consideration, believes preprints should be able to be included in grant applications and referenced in NIH progress reports, with the proper references so they are not confused with peer reviewed published papers. In short, the pace of science is too fast and the process of publication too slow to ignore preprints.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

American Society for Microbiology<\/a> (ASM)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

ASM also supports the proposal that NIH allow preprints to be included in grant applications and progress reports, provided they are listed separately from peer-reviewed journal publications, given that they serve different purposes and hold different status.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
