What will happen in your session?
Preprint journal clubs (preprint JCs) take an already existing infrastructure at academic institutions and coopt them to provide a medium to give preprint authors feedback and participants training in peer review. However participation, and by extension expertise, on the preprint topic is limited by geography. To increase the accessibility of preprint JCs, PREreview is introducing live preprint JCs. Emulating the Mozilla Open Leaders cohort calls, the live preprint JC will invite participants to discuss and review a preprint on the topic of open science/scholarship. They will be joined by remote participants that can increase the diversity of viewpoints. Two hosts will co-lead the session and guide the participants through the call using predetermined questions, silent etherpadding, and vocal participation.
What is the goal or outcome of your session?
As part of Open Access Week, PREreview is working with PLoS to organize several preprint JCs scattered around the world and across different disciplines. This Mozfest session will occur as part of this effort, culminating in the publication of a PREreview of the selected preprint acknowledging all the participants (with permission) on prereview.org.
If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.
As we will have some participants calling in, it would be ideal if we could have a room that is more quiet than the open spaces.
