The Center for Open Science is seeking graduate students, post docs, researchers and academic faculty to participate in a survey to investigate the factors that affect the perceived credibility and use of preprints.
Preprints, also known as working papers, are scholarly papers shared online via public servers such as bioRxiv without undergoing formal journal-led peer review.
What’s involved?
- A time commitment of up to 20 minutes, to complete an online survey about preprints and how you personally evaluate their credibility
- You don’t have to currently use preprints (either uploading or reading) to participate in the study
- Your data will be anonymous and you must be 18 or older to participate
