Presentation

Abstract

Many differing forms of pre-review publication followed by a range of post-publication peer review approaches, both transparent and closed, have recently been developed. This short presentation will provide a summary of some of these approaches, and highlight key features and advantages of differing approaches, in particular as they relate to trust in science and societal benefit of research.

What do the panelists think about the concept of requiring preprint deposition, as some funders (and even journals) have done?

I missed most of the beginning point but did heae Rebecca's very cogent talk.. The evidence some of which comes from our work(CIBER Research) demonstrates that researchers in general are pretty clear that a publication is a peer reviewed article. Why not accept this?

question for Rebecca: you rightly emphasize importance of not loosing critical referee reports in transparent processes - but not all report are well founded/accurate. Should editors judge which reports are publically visible? Can referee cross-commenting ensure balance of opinions? Should we ensure that author responses are always linked to referee reports?

Let's bear in mind, too, that the world isn't divided between those who think OA is always best and therefore support it, and those who think it's worthless and therefore don't. Most opinion is more nuanced, I think, and the same is true of attitudes toward preprints. No solution poses nothing but upsides (or downsides).
