Sciety is pleased to announce 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.
