Where are we with preprints? That’s the question that NISO expects to be wrestling with during this forthcoming event in Washington, DC, Open Access: The Role and Function of Preprints. The dates are November 14-15, 2019, and the venue is the American Geophysical Union. Register to attend today!

 

The objective is to identify potential issues and existing gaps currently impeding the work of those most impacted. Scheduled small group discussions will allow attendees to better understand specific community needs and work together to identify mechanisms that will satisfy those needs: What’s working? What isn’t?

 

To fuel those discussions, we offer a cross-sector range of views as evidenced here:
