Research Square is launching a blog as an educational resource for researchers. The blog will feature articles about emerging trends in research communications such as preprints, badges, and video summaries.
With the success of its multidisciplinary preprint platform, which now hosts over 20,000 preprints, Research Square has recognised the need to help educate authors about the ever-changing publishing landscape. In the past few years, the open access movement, Plan S, and the rise of preprints have brought significant changes to scholarly publishing, and researchers now have a variety of decisions to make about how to share their research. In addition, the global COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to share research quickly and make it accessible to the widest possible audience. As a result, researchers must think carefully about how to communicate their findings to a broad readership. The blog article topics will be carefully curated to help authors provide information on how best to communicate their research.
The Research Square Blog will also house press releases and company announcements, including those from AJE, Research Square’s sister company and a leading author services provider. The blog will launch with more than a dozen articles, and Research Square plans to add more articles by the end of 2020.
The Research Square Blog will be designed to inform researchers about available tools and services that will help them ensure their work has the greatest possible scientific impact. Research Square will source articles from its team of former researchers, industry professionals, and technologists.
