Importance of preprints
by Subbiah Arunachalam 26 Oct '22

26 Oct '22

Friends, The world of science and scholarship is moving towards accepting the advantages of adopting preprints as the primary means of scholarly exchange, albeit slowly. Luke Drury of the International Science Council is a formidable advocate of preprints. See the ISC Occasional paper https://council.science/publications/normalization-preprints/. Prachee Avasthi of Dartmouth College is another to champion the transition to preprints. Please see: https://twitter.com/PracheeAC/status/1584617942985375744?s=20&t=ngRdjLQdbQ1… . You may also listen to the keynote talk given by Prof. Bjoern Brembs earlier this year at the 2002 Annual meeting of COAR, where he pleaded for defunding journals. His paper "Replacing academic journals" [ https://zenodo.org/record/5526635] is a useful introduction too. Best wishes.
