CHORUS and ChemRxiv have signed a one-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to pilot a preprint dashboard service.
By using persistent identifiers, CHORUS will create a dashboard for ChemRxiv that connects preprints to funders and datasets as well as information related to public accessibility and other key metadata to be added later. The Preprint Dashboard will aid in the discoverability of preprints with the potential to provide non-ambiguous links between the preprint and published research, researchers, and their funding.
Both ChemRxiv and CHORUS are not-for-profit organizations engaged in supporting discoverability in scholarly communications. The pilot will run through the end of 2022.
ChemRxiv is a free submission, distribution, and archive service for unpublished preprints in chemistry and related areas. The service provides researchers across a broad range of fields related to the chemical sciences the opportunity to share early results with colleagues and receive recommendations for improvement, ahead of formal peer review and publication.
