New preprint with Giovanni Colavizza et al: We use PLOS Open Science Indicators to explore if #OpenScience practices correlate with cumulative effects on citations. Sharing preprints, 20.2% increase;
sharing data in a repository, 4.3%; sharing code, no effect arxiv.org/abs/2404.16171

Great preprint about (the importance of) preprints in Europe PMC!

Great to see preprints as % of the lit continuing to grow; 12% last year.

The impact of the pandemic is striking (more from us on that: journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…)

One more thing RE: preprints: after posting this work on bioRxiv, people with similar data and projects reached out to us - which in the end led to a cooperation and a much stronger paper. Highly recommended!

Today, we report that chronic intermittent fasting impairs β-cell maturation and function in adolescent mice. Using scRNA-seq of islets we define a β-cell maturation score, which was linked to T1D in humans. 👇
