What are the perceptions of #preprints across African scholars, and how can awareness and adoption of preprints across Africa be increased?
Our Fellows conducted a survey on these topics.

Science is not a monologue of a paper author. Science is a conversation!
We want to facilitate conversation between #preprint authors and those who wish to comment on #prepints.
That's why, this year, we brought back Crowd Preprint Review!
Let's improve #science together!
Sign up to be a #preprint reviewer as a part of the Crowd Preprint Review Initiative!

ASAPbio Crowd preprint review 2023 sign-up form
Following our activities the last two years, ASAPbio is running further preprint crowd review activities in 2023. Our goal is to provide an engaging environment for researchers to participate in providing feedback on preprints and support public reviews for preprints.
In 2023, we will be hosting five groups that will collaboratively review preprints in the disciplines below:
Meta-research: Practices, policies & infrastructure on open science and scholarship e.g. preprints, open access, open education, research impact
Molecular and cellular neurobiology: focus on neurodevelopment and neurodegeneration
Computational neuroscience: Computational, theoretical and data-driven approaches in understanding brain function, neuroinformatics and bioinformatics
Cancer biology: Biochemical, molecular and cellular studies in relation to cancer
New: Metabolism: Regulation of metabolic homeostasis and pathophysiology of metabolic diseases, from cell biology to integrative physiology
We invite researchers in the disciplines above to join our crowd preprint review activities, and particularly encourage early career researchers to participate. The activities will start in June and run until the end of 2023.
You will be joining one of the preprint review crowds, a group of researchers who will provide comments on preprints via a collaborative Google document. Preprints will be circulated to the crowd every two weeks, to invite comments over the following 14 days. Crowd members can comment on individual preprints according to their expertise and availability. The comments will be synthesized and posted publicly. More information is available at asapbio.org/crowd-preprint-review.
Please fill out the form below to sign up as a participant and tell us a bit about your expertise. For any questions or more information, please contact Jessica Polka at [email protected].
