====================================================================

What's the focus?

Twenty-five years ago, the creation of arXiv provided physicists with an efficient way to share their manuscripts before peer review and publication. Since then we have wondered why other discipines have been slow to follow their lead. Until 2014 when others joined such as bioRxiv, F1000 Research, PeerJ, The Winnower, PrePrints.org, and Wellcome Open Research. Join us to gain insights into the cultural dynamics that support PrePrints and explore how they can play an increasingly supportive role in the existing research landscape.

What will our presenters cover?

  *   What recent developments in a variety of disciplines, such as ASAPbio.org, the American Chemical Society (ChemRxiv), the Center for Open Science (PsyArXiv, AgriXiv, SocArXiv, and engXiv), the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), and the Social Science Research Network (SSRN), have populated the preprint landscape suggesting that 2017 be considered the "Year of the PrePrint"?
  *   What makes the preprint culture work in terms of discovery and funding sources along with the detection of plagiarism and junk science?
  *   What factors such as cultural change, preprint policies at universities, preprints' relationship to scholarly journals, and new players will affect the infrastructure of preprints in the near future?
