Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) has announced that its free, not-for-profit preprint service bioRxiv has received generous additional financial support.
In the three years since bioRxiv began, biomedical scientists have warmly embraced the sharing of results as preprints prior to formal publication. Submissions to bioRxiv are growing at an increasingly rapid rate, with more than 1 million article views each month. bioRxiv currently hosts more than 5,500 manuscripts featuring the work of 23,500 scientists from more than 40 countries.
The additional funding for bioRxiv was provided by Robert Lourie, a Trustee of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and Head of Futures Research at Renaissance Technologies. This is the second gift Lourie has made to the service since its inception and is an addition to his recent $2 million pledge in support of the Laboratory's endowment.
