April in preprints
Posted by the Node, on 9 May 2017
Our latest monthly trawl for developmental biology (and other cool) preprints. See June’s introductory post for background, and let us know if we missed anything
At the end of April, life science preprinting received a boost with the news that the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative will provide funding for the main preprint server, bioRxiv, which had the week before celebrated hosting its 10,000th article.
bioRxiv just passed 10,000 papers! :-)
Huge thanks to all involved https://t.co/xfNeiSBk3v pic.twitter.com/BQhIohafNX— Richard Sever (@cshperspectives) April 21, 2017
And a good month for bioRxiv was also a good month for developmental biology (and related) preprints. This month we found 115 preprints covering coral regeneration, spider development, a root-on-a-chip, a lot of discussion about publishing in our ‘Research Practise’ section, and a range of stem cell and cell biology, hosted on bioRxiv, F1000Research, PeerJ and arXiv.
