This panel will provide insights into preprint servers in other disciplines – physics, life sciences, and engineering, as well as perspectives from the funders of research. Experts involved with arXiv, bioRxiv, and engrXiv will discuss their perspective on how preprints aid in communication of scholarly findings and help science move faster. The panel discussion will also cover the effect on the grant review process, ethical practices, and transparency of scholarly research. Funders of research will discuss their own priorities when it comes to preprints, as well as their motivation for sponsoring preprint infrastructure.
