#Preprint sites #bioRxiv and #medRxiv launch new era of independence
The popular repositories, where life #scientists post research before #peerreview, will be managed by a new organization called #openRxiv.
Until now, they had been managed by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. The new organization, named openRxiv, will have a board of directors and a scientific and medical advisory board. It is supported by a fresh US$16M grant from Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI).

Everything is worrying at the moment but something I am wondering is if we should worry about the scientific publishers. Elsevier, Nature, #PLoS, maybe even #BiorXiv and others - is it possible that the US government forces them to either stop publishing, delete some or all of their published papers, or only accept papers that correspond to specific criteria?

Edited because I thought most of these were US-based but they are not.

Please tell me there is nothing to worry about on that front at least..

The #COAR (@coar_ev) #Notify project has created exciting new levels of #interoperability between #OpenAccess #preprint #repositories and other pieces of #OpenInfrastructure.
coar-repositories.org/news-upd

Notify now supports:

* One-click requests for peer review (from #Prereview, @prereview) for #preprints in #bioRxiv (@biorxivpreprint) and #SciELO (@redescielo)

* One-click submissions to OA journals (from #Episciences, @episciences) for preprints in #HAL (@hal_fr)

New #glycotime live on #bioRxiv (doi.org/10.1101/2023.12.05.570)! In this work, appropriately named #GotGlycans we teamed up with John Klassen and Linh Nguyen and with the help of Yves Durocher we show how N-glycosylation (even at a single site) can dramatically affect the structural integrity, the dynamics and ultimately the function of proteins.

Here we look at N-glycosylation of SARS-CoV-2 S receptor binding domain (RBD) in VoCs for its importance in #COVID19 vaccines design 🧵 1/8

Are there better preprint servers than #bioRxiv? Every time I try to post something to #bioRxiv, I have to fight with them that a paper doing new analyses on real data is a "real paper" just because we also do a good job of placing our results in the literature.

Moreover, #bioRxiv has an explicit policy that new theoretical insights are "not suitable for posting" (meaning they don't think theory is a real contribution to the literature), which is bad for science. What are the better other options?

It's almost (almost) as bad as fighting with editorial desk-rejections at a real journal.

#arXiv, @biorxivpreprint, and @medrxivpreprint have released their public comments on the the #OSTP #NelsonMemo.

PS: There's a distinct echo of #Plan_U in these comments, tho without using the term. I'm glad to see it's still alive. Here's some background from 2019.

Interested in #mechanobiology ? A reminder for a few #MastodonScience places:

@mechanobiology group: follow it, it'll retoot all messages it's mentioned in to all its followers.

@mechanobio posts the #mechanobiology preprints and papers from #bioRxiv, #arXiv and #pubmed.

jocelynetienne.github.io/Masto proposes to build an online directory of people doing biophysics in general

#Introduction Hi all I am Elisa Fadda, I use HPC to rebuild the structure of the invisible complex carbohydrates or #glycans in biomolecules (doi.org/10.1016/j.cbpa.2022.10) and to understand their *many* functions in #viralinfection, #hostpathogen interactions, and in biological processes where sugars rule. I am a huge supporter of #openscience and long-time affiliate of #bioRxiv. I like cats and in particular @MULibraryCat 👍 😊 Here promoting #glycotime and happy to rebuild a wonderful community 👋
