Sciety has announced the first non-English group to bring open review and curation to the platform: ASAPbio–SciELO Preprints crowd review. Based in Brazil, the group reviews preprints relating to infectious disease research that are posted on the SciELO Preprints server in Brazilian Portuguese.
Developed by a team within the non-profit initiative eLife, Sciety brings together the latest biomedical and life science preprints that are transparently evaluated and curated by communities of experts in one convenient place. Sciety forms a major part of eLife’s vision for a future where a diverse, global community of scientists produces open and trusted results for the benefit of all – the organisation’s ‘publish, review, curate’ mission that puts preprints first.
Current groups sharing evaluated preprints on Sciety include eLife, Biophysics Colab, the Novel Coronavirus Research Compendium, Peer Community In, PREreview and more. ASAPbio–SciELO Preprints crowd review now joins these communities, sharing its values of diversity and inclusivity in scholarly communication with those of eLife and Sciety.
The SciELO Preprints server is an integral part of SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online), a bibliographic database, digital library and cooperative electronic publishing model of open-access journals. Earlier in 2022, SciELO Preprints became a collaborator in ASAPbio’s crowd preprint review, an initiative to help foster public feedback on research posted as preprints. Public reviews contributed by SciELO Preprints and other collaborators in this initiative are also available to read on Sciety.
