A new initiative that makes bioRxiv preprints accessible to a wider range of readers. Details at connect.biorxiv.org/news/2023/11/0…. The feature can be seen on this article biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. Many thanks to our partner ScienceCast for this collaboration.

Today's The Nobel Prize award to Karikó Katalin Kariko and Weissman The Drew Weissman Lab is a milestone in an extraordinary story of scientific creativity, neglect, frustration, persistence, and triumph, compellingly told by @fabricedelaye in a new book from CSHLPress bityl.co/LSj9

One of the mysteries of the #COVID pandemic is how MIS-C (multi-inflammatory syndrome-children), a rare life-threatening condition in children, is connected to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. A new preprint finds some surprising links. 🧵1/13

'In conclusion,
we provide quantitative evidence to unveil the positive impact of
preprints on individual researchers and the community'. arxiv.org/pdf/2102.09066…

Duly noted! Rolling it out first on the largest bioRxiv subject category - neuroscience - to see what people think about it. Happy to go further if there is enthusiasm.

bioRxiv and PaperPlayer pilot a new audio feature that increases accessibility and offers a way of getting information from preprints that’s an alternative to a screen eurekalert.org/news-releases/…

📢New bioRxiv feature alert! We’ve partnered with PaperPlayer to bring audio abstracts to the bioRxiv Neuroscience #preprint category to increase accessibility of the content and allow you to stay informed even when on-the-go or at the bench! 🎧🥼🧫🧪 1/2

Preprints are the rational choice for satisfying OSTP's guidance to US government agencies on public access to research information, say arXiv.org, bioRxiv, and medRxiv. eurekalert.org/news-releases/….

Excited to share a #preprint crystallising Oana Paun’s hard work showing ≠ mechanisms for #ASCL1 endogenous TF activity + interaction with #SWI /SNF in human neurogenesis 🧠!

The #AHA journals are welcome additional options (now >300) for bioRxiv and medRxiv authors who want to submit their preprints directly to a journal. All biomed and clinical journals can participate - just get in touch with either server.

When you post to bioRxiv you can now get professional help in polishing the manuscript. In your author account, select 'Submit to author service', and choose Academic Language Experts (aclang.com). Another benefit we're happy to offer preprint authors.

Big news from scPerturb: our preprint received an open review by ArcadiaScience. Me, @stefanpeidli, and team incorporated their feedback into a new version of scPerturb, now on bioRxiv. The biggest change: in-depth benchmarking of E-statistics. doi.org/10.1101/2022.0… 1/7

This just in... 🗞 We have a new #OpenAccess publishing agreement with Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory which allows for free #OpenAccess Publishing in several of their journals plus a channel for all preprints on bioRxiv/medRxiv from #CMU authors. connect.biorxiv.org/group/content/…

Another discovery tool for preprints becomes available - Preprint Citation Index has been added to Web of Science.

Insightful interview with the author of a passionate book from CSHLPress about biotech’s progress in creating therapies for #RareDiseases

We're thrilled to announce support from Chan Zuckerberg Initiative to expand the DocMaps project, a collaborative effort with eLife - the journal/Sciety, EMBO & Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory that will soon offer everyone the tools to share, display, and analyze preprint evaluations.

Excited to announce funding from CZI Science and new partnerships with 6 organizations that are building tools and services to strengthen the #preprint ecosystem and expand community participation. 🧵 1/

Delighted to announce renewed funding for bioRxiv and medRxiv from Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. Details here:
eurekalert.org/news-releases/…. There are also additional CZI grants to support new initiatives around preprints being announced separately.
