Preprints & Librarians; ASAPbio 2024 takeover

In this podcast episode, we shall discuss preprints and how they have impacted decisions in the past to award tenure/promotions to scientists from diverse geographies like the USA, Europe, India, and Africa. This is the second episode in the series, featuring Fiona Watt (EMBO).

In this podcast episode, we shall discuss preprints and how they have impacted decisions in the past to award tenure/promotions to scientists from diverse geographies like the USA, Europe, India, and Africa. The episode will feature senior scientists from these geographies, their experience being a part of the decision-making process in awarding tenure/promotion, the hardships, especially the ECRs face in those committees and how their preprints are viewed and assessed and the path forward for a just science environment that promotes open science.

Librarians have the potential to be great advocates for preprints at their institutions and beyond. In this episode, we’ll speak with a librarian/librarians about how they champion preprints in their role/roles, the challenges they encounter, and how open science intersects with librarianship.
