Our Research Program
Our research focusses on preprints in the life sciences
We have a full metascience research program aimed at ensuring that our approach is evidence driven. Some of our currently active projects are outlined below, along with our previous successes.
Our active projects
The impact of peer review, news and highlights on preprint altmetrics and attention
Do preprint reviews, preLights and news coverage impact altmetric scores and reads of a preprint?
Location location location; the differences between preprint servers
How do preprints servers differ from each other and does it matter which one you choose?
Quality in the non-published; a comparison of non-published preprints with published preprints
An investigation into the 30% of preprints that are never published.
Authorship networks in preprints
Are preprint authorship networks more equitable and diverse?
Literature review of the evidence of peer review
Bringing together the data around peer review into one place
preprints as a form of scholarly communication in the life sciences
A look into the current evidence surrounding preprints in the life science
