Join us for the next Community Call, where we will hear from Veronique Kiermer, who will discuss a recent report that seeks to understand how scholarly publishing can advance open science by: ✅️ recognizing a wider range of research outputs and ✅️ reducing reliance on APCs. buff.ly/2OseOo5

❔️ Will journals publish my work if I've previously posted it in a preprint version under a CC license? ✅️ Submitting a manuscript to a journal following its posting as a preprint should not be an obstacle to publication, since nearly all journals in the life sciences would consider such a submission.

OMB proposes changes that pertain to publication costs, as well as memberships, subscriptions, and professional activity costs, that would have a chilling effect on researchers’ ability to engage in the scientific process. ASAPbio's response proposes alternative solutions 👇️

❔️If an author posts a preprint under a CC license, does that mean that they can't publish later versions under other terms? ❌️No. Authors maintain the ability to publish subsequent versions under a different license. If you have more questions about preprints and licensing, visit buff.ly/NPAGpww

"Beyond the article.📄 Beyond the APC.💵" is the motto of the recent report from PLOS that discusses redefining publishing through the lens of Open Science. The report proposes the concept of "the knowledge stack" as a publishing model that connects various research outputs.

ASAPbio Crowd Preprint Review "helped me build my confidence as I pivoted to the field of open science and meta-research. Reviewing alongside others allowed me to see different approaches to evaluating a manuscript and helped demystify a process that can feel intimidating early in one’s career."
