Friends,
If you know of some bright young postdoctoral/senior doctoral students
whose interests go beyond their own research but includes improving the way
science advances collectively, please recommend them to talk to ASAPbio.
They could apply for the position of ASAPbio Fellows, a kind of ambassador
in their nation/region. There are some Fellows in India already. You might
also wish to listen to Prof. Ludo Waltman, Director, CWTS, Leiden, who will
be talking about preprints and post peer review.
With warm regards,
Subbiah Arunachalam

*Preprints across the globe; landscapes, perceptions and challenges with
Ludo Waltman*
At our next Community call, on 19 March 2024, we will discuss the
globalization of preprints. The adoption of preprints varies greatly across
geographical regions, with many of the efforts to drive adoption
originating from the US and Western EU. However, this approach often
neglects the opinions and needs of others. In this community call we will
hear from Ludo Waltman about the perceptions of preprints across different
regions and discuss how to better approach the uptake of preprints with a
global mindset.
Speakers:
Ludo Waltman, Leiden University.
