‘Preprint first’ publishing at *eLife* https://nature.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2c6057c528fdc6f73fa196d9d&id=aadf7fdf73&e=9dc40acf40 Starting next July, open-access journal *eLife* will review and publish only papers that have already been posted on a preprint server https://nature.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2c6057c528fdc6f73fa196d9d&id=bb5ae0e482&e=9dc40acf40, such as bioRxiv, medRxiv or arXiv. Other journals use a similar publish-then-review system, but *eLife *combines this idea with the conventional journal system by only publishing the manuscripts that pass its review process. The journal also plans to start posting all of its peer-review reports on preprint servers, whether or not a paper is accepted for publication. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-03541-5 Interesting Developmt -- hrmohan -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
