Can we get an update? #6

Of bioRxiv specifically.

I'm looking to investigate Jessica Polka's recent comment:

It looks like bioRxiv has reversed the order of licenses! Would love to know when this happened and if it has caused any change in license choice.

OmnesRes commented 7 years ago

Okay, I made a new commit.

One thing to keep in mind is that many preprints will be missing subject information. What appears to happen is when bioRxiv posts a new preprint the subject information isn't available. When I prepared the file for the analysis on your blog I went through all the preprints and updated the subject info.

(When you say you want an update you just mean the new preprints right? You aren't looking to see if people are revising their preprint with a new license choice, right? Because I don't track the new versions of preprints.)

Yes that's fine.

@OmnesRes Thanks for fresh data. I added the following update to the blog post

Update on March 29, 2017: Jessica Polka, Director of ASAPbio, noticed that bioRxiv reordered their license options so the more open licenses now appear first (as I suggested in the comments below). Accordingly, I compared the distribution of licenses for the 100 days preceding this blog post to the 100 days following this blog post. The proportion of CC BY licenses increased from 13.7% to 21.1% (p = 1.67 × 10-8). Based on this effect, I estimate this blog post led to 153 additional CC BY preprints in the 100 days following its publication!
