The time is right for biologists to post their research findings onto preprint servers
This article is a summary, by the authors, of 140-page report prepared in 2012 UK Working Group on Expanding Access to Published Research Findings, chaired British sociologist and academic administrator Janet Finch, DBE. The was charged with recommending how develop model that would be effective sustainable over time, for expanding access published findings research.
Representatives of the Wellcome Trust, Medical Research Council, Cancer UK, and Bill Melinda Gates Foundation describe importance sharing clinical-trial data for reasons transparency, good practice, accelerated dissemination results.
Peer review is an important part of the scientific process, but traditional peer at journals coming under increased scrutiny for its inefficiency and lack transparency. As preprints become more widely used accepted, they raise possibility rethinking peer-review process. Preprints are enabling new forms that have potential to be thorough, inclusive, collegial than journal review, thus fundamentally shift culture toward constructive collaboration. In this Consensus View, we make a call action...
Preprints enable new forms of peer review that have the potential to be more thorough, inclusive, and collegial. In December 2022, 80 researchers representatives funders, institutions, preprint servers, journals, indexers, services were invited gather online at Janelia Research Campus for a workshop on Recognizing Preprint Peer Review. Sponsored by HHMI, ASAPbio, EMBO, this meeting aimed catalyze community consensus support create model funder, institutional, journal policies recognize both...

It is a fundamental part of the charitable mission Wellcome Trust—the UK's largest foundation funding biomedical research—to ensure that results work we fund can be read and utilized by widest possible audience. At present time, however, access to this research not available all audiences serve. Indeed, in recent exercise looked at articles which Trust was attributed as funder, found that, time publication, only 6% these were freely on Internet. Though situation for researchers (who have...
On November 18-19, 2016, the Human Frontier Science Program Organization (HFSPO) hosted a meeting of senior managers key data resources and leaders several major funding organizations to discuss challenges associated with sustaining biological biomedical (i.e., life sciences) infrastructure. A strong consensus emerged from group that core for sciences should be supported through coordinated international effort(s) better ensure long-term sustainability appropriately align scientific impact....

The Open Science Prize was established with the following objectives: first, to encourage crowdsourcing of open data make breakthroughs that are biomedical significance; second, illustrate funders can indeed work together when scientific interests aligned; and finally, international collaboration between investigators intent achieving important innovations would not be possible otherwise. process for running competition successes challenges arose presented.
