New Open Access Repository for Unrefereed Preprints: PLoS Contents
August 25, 2009A new open-access repository for preprints on biomedical research findings prior to peer review -- "PLoS Currents: Influenza" -- is a welcome development, as are all services that provide free online access to research findings, before and after refereeing, in all fields. As long as the unrefereed/refereed distinction is prominently tagged, as it will be, it is always good to encourage researchers in all fields to make their drafts available for peer and public scrutiny as soon as they feel ready to do so.
