- We've added support for OSF Preprint Server. A variety of groups on Sciety use OSF, so soon we'll be able to ingest many more evaluations.
- On our staging site, you can sign up using Twitter in addition to email and password. Given the volatility around Twitter at present, it's important for Sciety to have reduced reliance on a Twitter only authentication and login experience to broaden access to Sciety in Future.
- Provided 4 new Docmaps for eLife's latest Reviewed Preprint's
- Made it much faster to onboard new groups. We can now use an API call to add a group, the result of which is adding two new groups this week.

- We're wrapping up our recent round of calls with group representatives and are planning work on Sciety that improves the onboarding journey for our groups and helps people understand the value in preprint evaluation from our growing number of evaluating communities.
- We're looking to speak to more readers of preprint literature. If that's you, and you would be happy to spend 10-20 minutes talking with the Sciety team, we would love to hear from you.

The keen readers of the Sciety blog may have noticed that we missed Week 3 of 2023 in this series. This is because our distributed team had a rare chance to meet up in the UK. We spent a couple of days in Birmingham, ideating around Sciety and team processes and are working towards making small, continual improvements to solve problems for researchers using Sciety, alongside big improvements like new ways to create an account and being able to have more than one list
