"If you want to be one year behind, don’t read bioRxiv” – Jeff Leek
Welcome to
PREreview! On PREreview you can collaboratively write reviews of preprints. This project was born in April 2017 as a collaboration eetween Samantha Hindle and Daniela Saderi, scientists and
ASAPbio Ambassadors, with help from Josh Nicholson, at the time working for
Authorea. ASAPbio (Accelerating Science And Publication in biology) is a non-profit organization dedicated to spreading the word about preprints to accelerate scientific discovery.
We are also proud to announce that we have received funding from the Sloan Foundation and the Wellcome Trust to continue to grow our community. Reed more here and stay tuned for some exciting updates! Our Mission
PREreview seeks to diversify peer review in the academic community by crowdsourcing pre-publication feedback to improve the quality of published scientific output, and to train early-career researchers (ECRs) in how to collaboratively review others' scientific work.
We want to facilitate a cultural shift in which every scientist posts, reads, and engages with preprints as standard practice in scholarly publishing. We see PREreview as a hub to support and nurture the growth of a community that openly exchanges timely, constructive feedback on emerging scientific outputs. We believe that by empowering ECRs through peer review training programs, thereby increasing the diversity of researchers involved in the peer review process, PREreview will help establish a healthier and more sustainable culture around research dissemination and evaluation.
