February in preprints

Posted by , on 1 March 2018

Our latest monthly trawl for developmental biology (and other cool) preprints. Let us know if we missed anything.


 

On February 20th, The Company of Biologists launched preLights, a community-led preprint highlighting service. A panel of early career researchers (the ‘preLighters’) select and comment on recent preprints that caught their eye, and encourage preprint authors to answer any questions about the work that they had. So far it looks great, and the developmental biology content has been especially good (see the dedicated subject category). We’d love to know what you think: you can contact the team via the site or the Twitter feed.

 

 

The idea behind the site was influenced in part by this list – as it got longer and longer (reflecting increased preprint usage), we were wondering how else we could encourage and promote the discussion of preprints, and the preLights idea took form. Rest assured that this list will live on, at least until the point at which it gets impossibly long!

And here’s the list – all the developmental biology I could find, plus relevant and cool other preprints thrown in for good measure.

The preprints were hosted on bioRxivPeerJ, and arXiv. Use these links to get to the section you want:
