It is likely that in the past month you have seen an increase of discussions and references to preprints—manuscripts uploaded online (on a number of preprint servers) and openly available without formal review. In order to help you understand how to publish, locate, and peer review preprints, the library will host the following sessions:
- Webinar Viewing and Discussion: Preprints in PubMed Central
Date: May 8, 2020
Time: 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.
Location: Online—synchronous (Zoom link will be sent to registrants)
- Preprints: How, Why, and Should I?
Date: July 7, 2020
Time: 2:30 p.m.-3:30 p.m.
Location: Online—synchronous (Zoom link will be sent to registrants)
See the companion HSLS Update article, “PREreview and Outbreak Science Rapid PREreview,” for information on those open-source preprint platforms.
Questions about preprints can also be directed to Ask a Librarian.
