Preprints are gaining a central place within the practice of scholarly publishing. Disciplines are developing their own preprint platforms, and a system for review offers an alternative to the path of submission, peer review, revision, acceptance, or rejection. Rebecca Stuhr will introduce you to some of the growing numbers of platforms, from arXiv and its descendants as well as to the opportunities for review at these sites, and the developing option to have your preprint reviewed outside of the journal submission process.

Participants will:

• Become familiar with the growing number of  preprint platforms
• Become aware of how these platforms fit into the system of scholarly publishing including some copyright issues
• The possibilities for collaboration 
• The changing peer review process (especially in the life and health sciences) 

Location: Graduate Student Center | 3615 Locust Walk | Third Floor, Room 304

This session is co-sponsored by Penn Libraries.
