#preprints

1 post1 participant1 post today

On Wednesday 9 July experts from @creativecommons , Europe PMC and EMBL will highlight opportunities and challenges of the various CC licenses for research publications and #preprints. They will explain whether researchers retain #copyright when choosing a CC BY license, how open licensing affects reuse of data for AI training and development of research tools, and why some authors cannot reuse their own work.

ZoomWelcome! You are invited to join a meeting: What happens when you choose closed? What Creative Commons licenses mean for research and AI. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the meeting.Licensing and copyright have always been an important aspect of publishing research. Creative Commons (CC) licences offer a standardised way for research authors to grant others permission to use their work under clearly defined terms. The commonly used CC BY license enables reuse with attribution, and most research funders recommend or require a CC BY license for open access publications. However, research literature is increasingly used to train generative AI tools, presenting a concern for academic authors wishing to retain agency over their outputs. Amidst confusion, some publishers steer authors towards less permissive license options. In this webinar you will hear from experts at Creative Commons, Europe PMC and EMBL, about opportunities and challenges of the various CC licenses for research publications and preprints. We will explain whether you retain copyright when choosing a CC BY license, how open licensing affects reuse of data for AI training and development of research tools, and why some authors cannot reuse their own work. Join our interactive discussion and learn how licensing impacts research and innovation. A recording of this webinar will be made publicly available and shared with all registered participants.

In Ep 12 of #spotLights, Jonathan Townson talks to Daniel Booth about his lab's recent #preprints (cell division mechanisms & new bioimaging tools), presented at #biologists100. One was recently published @J_Cell_Sci !

They also explore the value of preprinting for early-career PIs and their teams.

When scholarly discussions happen in private Slack channels or get buried in Twitter threads, most researchers miss out. Sciety has secured funding from @nlnet to build something better. We're working with @bonfire, to develop a space for preprint discussion that is open, interoperable and will allow any preprint evaluation community to replicate and run themselves
