Description

PREreview seeks to diversify peer review in the academic community by crowdsourcing pre-publication feedback to improve the quality of published scientific output, and to train early-career researchers (ECRs) in how to review others' scientific work.

During the #eLifeSprint #mozsprint we are developing a PREreview.org platform 2.0 with new features and completely open source. Here is our working etherpad: https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/peerreview_elife_MVP

Happy to join this project. I have already initiated a preprint journal club at the University of Canterbury and we discuss preprint articles, write about them (See https://journal.sketchingscience.org/inst/18975?articles_format=list, and https://arinbasu.github.io/UC-SHSS-Study-Group/list_of_papers.html); it’d be nice to get some recognition. Perhaps a project to build a database of these projects and a common format to organise preprint and recognition strategies would be worth spending time.

Hey @dasaderi - this looks like a duplicate of #271. Any reason why you have separate listing?

eLIFE Innovation Sprint 2018

PREreview 2.0

In brief: PREreview: Putting the ‘peer’ back into peer review! Aim: Design concepts for PREreview 2.0 We created: User stories and wireframes for a new PREreview experience Achievements: used Design Thinking to kick start the new concept both technically and strategically TIL: Collaboration is awesome! What’s next? A lot of work to build the community and use technology to facilitate interaction and sharing

@acabunoc it was not intentional. Sorry. :(

@acabunoc this isn't a duplicate, this is the posting that relates to the specific work done at eLife Sprint. The other listing is more general for the PREreview project. Please could this one be re-opened? @dasaderi would you agree?

[npscience]

@dasaderi do you have a timescale for when the documentation from the elife sprint work will go live on the main github repo, please? Not intended to push you for this, just wondering so we can know when and where to link to from our own blog about the sprint :)
