Spitzer Preprints and the Research Workflow
1 like762 views
The document discusses the Matthew Spitzer Center for Open Science's initiatives regarding preprints and the research workflow, emphasizing the creation of public goods infrastructure for scholarly communication. It highlights the benefits of a community-driven approach, such as customizability and integration into existing workflows, and announces a partnership with the Center for Open Science to enhance engagement and collaboration among researchers. Various preprint services hosted on the OSF platform are listed, along with suggestions for promoting preprints within academic disciplines.
Spitzer Preprints and the Research Workflow
- 1. Matthew Spitzer Center for Open Science @matthewspitzer http://cos.io/ @OSFramework Preprints and the Research Workflow Funded by:
- 2. Open-source OSF Preprints and the OSF supporting it are public goods infrastructure with open-source code at the COS GitHub repo (https://github.com/CenterForOpenScience)
- 5. https://osf.io/preprints Community Driven approach to Scholarly Communication requires a custom approach and integration with multiple workflows Any group can launch and manage a fully functional service for their community, including use of • custom domains • custom taxonomies • brand identity • editorial guidelines
- 13. OpenSesame OSF Connecting the research workflow and archiving activities, changes, outputs with tools to facilitate collaboration, sharing, and ease of access
- 14. https://osf.io/preprints/discover But also search across multiple preprint repositories Powered by SHARE (share.osf.io), OSF Preprints aggregates search across local and external preprint services Currently over 2M preprintrecords available 8000+ preprints currently hosted directly on the OSF across 19 services
- 18. What public-goods infrastructure means Deduplication: no need for redundant development, redundant fundraising, etc. Economy of scale: Reusable, shared infrastructure, collaborative prioritization Deployment of expertise: Less technical expertise, more community education and promotion Innovation: by lowering the barrier to entry, groups have the freedom to experiment
- 19. An example of scale To enable peer feedback, collaboration and transparency in scientific research practices, Hypothesis and the Center for Open Science (COS) are announcing a new partnership to bring open annotation to Open Science Framework (OSF) Preprints and the 17 community preprint servers hosted on OSF. The partnership enables researchers to engage with each other, discuss research and share additional information as part of the regular research workflow. Services currently hosted on the OSF Preprints platform include AgriXiv, Arabixiv, BITSS, EarthArXiv, EngrXiv, FOCUS Archive, FrenXiv, InaRxiv, LawArXiv, LISSA, MarXiv, MindRxiv, NutriXiv, PaleorXiv, P syArXiv, SocArXiv, and SportRxiv. https://web.hypothes.is/blog/cos-launch/ One integration creates improvement for multiple services, if desired

APA Journals has designated PsyArXiv (psychology archive) as the preferred preprint server for APA titles, with plans to integrate with the submission portals for some APA-published journals 2. APA will have a branded data repository on the OSF to store and archive research data, protocols and materials, with data being made open once it is published in an APA journal Which means, COS is actively exploring connections to journal submission systems to allow for easy workflows for preprints to journals via API An example of scale & improvements for traditional publishing
