Hi everyone!

Thank you so much for your interest in our project! We are really excited about building a community of early-career researchers who are engaged in having a voice in the peer review process in science.

We have been working hard to hold conversations with many stakeholders in the scholarly publishing world to try and encourage policy changes to involve ECRs in this crucial part of the scientific research process. But we can't do it all alone. We need your help!

We have 18 PREreview beta-testers who have been pivotal in helping us test out our platform and peer review resources, but they are spread all over the world and are not well connected to one another. We want to change that, and help them to support each other as they continue to engage in the preprint peer review process.

We would also like to build our community to help us spread the word about preprint journal clubs and the importance of including ECRs in the peer review process. To do this, we would like to develop a PREreview Ambassadors program.

We have a PREreview Slack Channel ready to roll, but we need your help to find interested folks to join us. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
