That's why harnessing opportunities to publish more efficiently via digital-first workflows and content optimization is essential.<i><br /><br />The Small Publisher’s Guide to Digitally Driven OA Journal Development</i> provides a blueprint for strategies publishers at any stage can follow to expand the reach and impacts of their journals while keeping up with the latest publishing standards and trends, including how to:
<br /><br />● Optimize journal websites for online readers and search engines
<br />● Expand article indexing and meet new metadata recommendations
<br />● Adopt a digital-first production process to publish more efficiently
<br />● Establish clear policies for content and data archiving
<br /><br />With OA costs incurred by authors and research institutions considerably outpacing inflation in recent years, there is a growing need for mission-driven organizations to develop sustainable OA journal models to foster a more equitable research future for all. And there has never been a better time for publishers of any size to produce modern OA journals, with more possible OA funding and online hosting options than ever before. <br /><br />This new free eBook is designed to help scholarly organizations publish high-quality OA journals affordably and disseminate new articles to the broadest possible readership.

Although used extensively in several communities for many years (e.g. on the ArXiv.org site) it is their use in the biomedical sciences which has proved momentous for publishing. However, they are not without problems and this presentation will consider the place of preprints within the academic and conference ecosystem, and consider how they are used – and abused – in the dissemination of research information within academia and among the wider public.<br /><br />The session is available exclusively to EASE members - see more details and register on the <a href="https://ease.org.uk/ease-events/ease-training/preprints-and-publishing-dec-21/" target="_blank">EASE website</a><br />dnjournalshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04662273137302487848noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31745191.post-66723243051097647252021-11-26T12:32:00.004+00:002021-11-30T11:51:35.287+00:00Fifth anniversary of the SAGER guidelines: BMJ Global Health Editorial <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuxNF_5aXNr86lFNRFTGT370QhoNmtVNVSYQ6TT3EHXl_Kqy2t3xrN5RPVll01Hsy2BUUP0haKkIz420S_1S09UgHAN2GsKRye8NK2XVQwmyv2UDHX99om2l3y09XItdAIexGr/s1782/BMJGH+SAGER+5th+anniversary.png" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="745" data-original-width="1782" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuxNF_5aXNr86lFNRFTGT370QhoNmtVNVSYQ6TT3EHXl_Kqy2t3xrN5RPVll01Hsy2BUUP0haKkIz420S_1S09UgHAN2GsKRye8NK2XVQwmyv2UDHX99om2l3y09XItdAIexGr/s600/BMJGH+SAGER+5th+anniversary.png" width="600" /></a></p>To mark the fifth anniversary of the EASE SAGER guidelines, our Gender Policy Committee members have published an editorial in BMJ Global Health. The article, <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/bmjgh-2021-007853" target="_blank"><cite class="highwire-cite highwire-cite-highwire-article highwire-citation-bmjj-title clearfix">Fifth anniversary of the Sex And Gender Equity in Research (SAGER) guidelines: taking stock and looking ahead</cite></a>, reflects on the successes and recommendations of the guidelines, and highlights remaining barriers to the uptake and implementation, and makes some suggestions on how to overcome them.
The guidelines provide recommendations to authors, journal editors, peer-reviewers and publishers to encourage and support thorough and appropriate reporting of sex and gender in the scholarly literature – from research design, to data collection, reporting and writing. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVx5sOX8PZWhCDqJupkVuMUOk9ttQ0SAqLk58XvgDjYXEy38v-Ctsels_7RLptxJyRDqisHv-v7_d4E0RpvNlMAzMn6q44MIGKMgO69MynAqg46BclxCcmNotvXgEZMSYxh46t/s1280/Sager+Guidelines+Banner.png" style="clear: left; display: block; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVx5sOX8PZWhCDqJupkVuMUOk9ttQ0SAqLk58XvgDjYXEy38v-Ctsels_7RLptxJyRDqisHv-v7_d4E0RpvNlMAzMn6q44MIGKMgO69MynAqg46BclxCcmNotvXgEZMSYxh46t/s320/Sager+Guidelines+Banner.png" width="320" /></a>
<br />The guidelines have been translated into six languages (Chinese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, Turkish, and Vietnamese), have been adopted by a growing number of journals, encouraged by major publishers, extensively used by researchers, and are now listed among the recommended guidelines on the <a href=" https://www.equator-network.org/reporting-guidelines/sager-guidelines/ " target="_blank">EQUATOR Network</a>.<br /><br />More information about the guidelines, download links for all language versions, and details of how to endorse and implement the initiative, are available in the dedicated <a href="https://ease.org.uk/communities/gender-policy-committee/gpc-endorse-adopt-collab/" target="_blank">Gender Policy Committee SAGER Guidelines pages of the EASE website. </a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;"> <b>Reference:</b><br />Peters SAE, Babor TF, Norton RN, et al

Authored by founding members of the EASE Environment & Sustainability Committee, Alastair Brown (Editor in Chief of The Lancet Planet) and Stefan Mertens (Managing Editor of Deutsches Ärzteblatt), the Manifesto details examples of good practices, novel concepts, and steps editors can take that will help raise awareness, inspire new ideas and develop habits to reduce their environmental footprint in their own particular circumstances, contributing to global efforts to reduce environmental damage. <br /><br />
The Manifesto includes a quick check table, for editors, publishers or anyone who would like to get a sense of possible changes to their daily practices.<br /><br />
The Manifesto is published in full, in EASE journal European Science Editing, free to read now:<br /><a href=" https://doi.org/10.3897/ese.2021.e75625" target="_blank"> https://doi.org/10.3897/ese.2021.e75625</a>
<br /><br />

Delia Mihaila, CEO of MDPI and Unai Vicario, Publishing Coordinator at MDPI.<br /><br />
Moving a journal from the traditional subscription-based model to the Open Access model is often a matter of concern for the editorial offices, societies and authors supporting any journal. When discussing with all those stakeholders and listening to their questions and concerns we often find some commonalities. In this webinar, Delia and Unai will provide an overview of the Open Access model and clarify those questions that are often raised when journals consider transitioning to Open Access, sharing examples and their experiences through two case studies.<br /><br /> The webinar will try to offer practical advice and answer the following questions:<br /><br />
- What are the benefits of adopting the Open Access model?<br />
<br />
- We would like to move to the Open Access model, but we are worried about the effect of introducing Article Processing Charges (APC) and afraid of losing authors who cannot afford to pay an APC.<br /><br />
-As a society or association, we offer free access to our journal as a benefit for our members. What could we offer to our members if we move the journal to the Open Access model?<br /><br />
- As a society we offer the subscription to our members. How will the society keep the members if we move to the Open Access model?<br /><br />
- If the journal adopts the Open Access model, how can we continue to guarantee the quality?<br /><br />Find more information and registration details on the EASE website:<br /><a href="https://ease.org.uk/ease-events/ease-training/open-access-journals-nov-21/">https://ease.org.uk/ease-events/ease-training/open-access-journals-nov-21/</a><br /><br />

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal">For the past two years of <b>Peer Review Week</b>, we have curated a series
of videos on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/peerreviewweek">PRW YouTube
Channel</a>, showcasing opinions from a range of individuals and organisations
across the research publishing spectrum – journal editors, researchers, authors,
publishers, technology providers, and of course reviewers, on each of the themes (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjdrBA6yf43LoJQX11zJiTSkecQemXSHn" target="_blank">Quality</a>, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjdrBA6yf43K6engv3187VtvjqMFjusJF" target="_blank">Trust</a>).<br />
<br />
We would like to put this call out again, on behalf of the Peer Review Week
Committee, and ask for your video submissions on the theme of <b>IDENTITY </b>in Peer
Review.<br />
<br />
You may approach this subject however is relevant to you, your work, your
interests, your goals, or you as an individual operating in the peer review
system, however that may be. We welcome any and all insights that can inform
and inspire the research publishing community.<br />
<br />
We have prepared a video submission guide with the technical details on how to
submit, and what form videos should take – <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dM1zGphQr3F4y5eq2Rbhjpk_JUYioPRL/view?usp=sharing">see
here for details!</a><br />
<br />
They need not be long – maximum 3 minutes, and sent to us before events start on
the 20<sup>th</sup> September. <br />
<br />
We can take care of the editing and uploading to youtube – all you need to do
is come up with what you would like to say, put yourself in front of a camera,
and say it!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(though if you would like to
get creative and produce a snazzy video then feel free!)<br />
<br />
We very much look forward to your submissions.<br /></p>

However, there are also notable examples of efforts to reduce waste and the Cochrane-REWARD committee are keen to highlight some of these. <br /><br />All nominations will be assessed using the following criteria:<br /><br />1. The nominee has addressed at least one of the 5 stages of waste (questions, design, conduct, publication, reporting) in health research;<br />2. The nominee has pilot or more definitive data showing the initiative can lower waste;<br />3. The initiative can be scaled up;<br />4. The estimated potential reduction in research waste that the initiative might achieve.<br /><br /><br />Nominations for the 2021 prize should be submitted by 24 September 2021. Two prizes will be awarded (a 1st prize of £1500 and a 2nd prize of £1000), but other shortlisted candidates will also be highlighted to help disseminate good ideas.<br /><br />The winners of the 2021 prize will be announced in a virtual ceremony later in the year, where they will also be given the opportunity to present about their work.<br /><br />
<a href="https://www.cochrane.org/sites/default/files/public/uploads/rewardprize_2021.pdf" target="_blank">More information on the prize and how to submit a nomination can be found on the Cochrane site</a><br /><br />
Last year the prize was awarded to <a href="https://www.trialforge.org/" target="_blank"><b>Trial Forge</b></a>, an initiative established in 2015 to address evidence gaps in how randomized trials are designed – and, in doing so, improve trial efficiency.<br /><br />Joint second prize was awarded to <a href="https://preclinicaltrials.eu/"><b>Preclinicaltrials.eu</b></a> and the <b><a href="https://training.cochrane.org/resource/practical-methods-handling-missing-summary-statistics-meta-analysis-continuous-outcomes" target="_blank">Meta-Analysis of SKewed data (MASK)</a> </b>collaboration.<br /><br />
MASK aimed to develop effective methods for handling continuous outcome measures in evidence synthesis. While the project case study focused on trials of rehabilitation interventions for stroke, the methods identified by MASK are generic and could be applied to any situation where a mean or standard deviation summary statistic of a continuous outcome is missing.<br /><br />
Preclinicaltrials.eu is an online database where researchers can register their animal studies, upload protocols and link to publications and data sources. While clinical trials now have multiple registration platforms the preclinical field has had no means to register studies; Preclinicaltrials.eu fills the gap.<br />

The conference will be held online, from 23rd – 25th June, with satellite events planned in the weeks before and after the main event.<br /><br />
Join us for three days of presentations, debates, panels and networking sessions, centred around how we, as editors can promote more sustainable research and equable systems of communication, and consider our influence on research that respects the Earth’s resources.<br /><br />2020 was a turning point in science communication with the global
pandemic revealing the limitations of our current models and raising
questions about how we, as editors can – and should – influence
scientific communication.
<p>Sustainability, in terms of managing the Earth’s resources, is often
considered to be unrelated to editorial and research activities; but
careful husbandry of available resources is at the heart of a
sustainable scientific ecosystem. As editors we need to investigate how
we can promote more sustainable research and equable systems of
communication, and we need to carefully consider our influence on
research that respects the Earth’s resources. Implicit is the need to
ensure diversity, and to avoid niche publishing that excludes
participation and partnership around the world, and which overstretches
available resources.</p>
<p>These vital topics will be considered by key speakers at the
conference, and delegates will participate in debates via the EASE Forum
Live! sessions.</p>
<p>The programme will include presentations, case studies and discussions on the following topics:</p>
<ul><li>Keynote: Sustainability in research: editorial challenges and opportunities</li><li>Debate: Preprints are a more inclusive and sustainable method of scholarly communication than journals</li><li>Presentations: promoting gender, cultural and geographic diversity in scientific journals</li><li>Panel discussion: How local journals are using technology to ensure sustainability</li><li>Presentations:
Editing and publishing in times of crisis – 18 months into the COVID-19
pandemic, what have we learned and which changes will stay?</li><li>Presentation: What environmental responsibilities do editor and publishers have?</li><li>Meeting the challenges of publishing in a world of politicised science</li></ul>
<p>Each session will include consideration of one or more of the UN
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to question how the work,
experiences and behaviors of editors, publishers and researchers can
influence and help to achieve the SDGs.<br /><br />See a more detailed programme with speaker information, registration forms, poster presentation submission info, and more, on the event pages on the EASE website:<br /><br />

A group of EASE members is investigating how journal editors handle submissions that need language or writing-quality editing; both from multilingual (non-native) speakers or first-language manuscripts that do not meet standards. <br /><br />
The survey is intended to be completed by anyone with the appropriate insights into the decision-making processes and author services of journals they work with, such as journal editors, managing editors (and other terms for these roles).<br /><br />
It will take around 15 minutes to complete. You can find the survey here: <a href="https://ru.surveymonkey.com/r/RZ7JWW9">https://ru.surveymonkey.com/r/RZ7JWW9</a><br /><br />
We would also appreciate it if you could pass along to any other journal editors you may know or post in any relevant academic association groups you are a part of so that we can receive as wide, diverse and large a number of responses as possible.<br /><br />
Please don't hesitate to get in touch with project leads <a href="mailto:avi@aclang.com?Subject=EASE Language Editing Survey">Avi Staiman</a> or <a href="mailto:duncan@dnjournals.co.uk?Subject=EASE Language Editing Survey">Duncan Nicholas</a> with any questions you may have.<br /><br />
On behalf of the entire research group, we thank you very much in advance for your insights and experience, and greatly appreciate your time.

<br /><br />The paper includes 12 evidence-based ‘edits’ that improve comprehension, a novel ‘structured editing’ technique for analysing and revising a text by four sequential tasks; an advanced technique—shortening a 250-word abstract to 100 words without losing content, and a collaborative technique based on ‘deliberate practice’.
<br /><br />The paper is intended to provide very practical solutions to editing tasks, help technical editors develop critical thinking and sharpen all kinds of language skills.

Earlier this year, after a discussion on our Forum, EASE developed a new
resource: the <a href="https://ease.org.uk/publications/ease-statements-resources/quick-check-table-for-submissions/">EASE
Quick-Check Table</a>, based on a <a href="https://ese.arphahub.com/article/53477/">proposed universal framework for
more user-friendly author instructions</a>, published in <a href="https://ese.arphahub.com/article/52063/">European Science Editing</a>. It
was intended to make life easier for both authors and editors, by helping
scientists find basic information needed for submission of their manuscripts to
a journal. The initiative was promoted on our website and via our social media,
but also by our sister organizations, like the International Association of
Scientific, Technical and Medical Publishers (<a href="https://www.stm-assoc.org/">STM</a>), Mediterranean Editors &
Translators (<a href="https://www.metmeetings.org/">MET</a>), and Association
of Earth Science Editors (<a href="http://www.aese.org/shell.html?page=home&menu=l">AESE</a>). <br />
<br />
To facilitate adoption of this idea by journal editors, we uploaded MS Word
files with the <a href="https://ease.org.uk/publications/ease-statements-resources/quick-check-table-for-submissions/">blank
and complete table on our website</a>. A general note at the beginning of emphasizes
that manuscripts should be COMPLETE, CONCISE, and CLEAR (as explained in <a href="http://www.ease.org.uk/publications/author-guidelines">EASE Guidelines
for Authors and Translators</a>, available in >20 languages). Below, the
table presents examples of basic information for initial submission: word limits,
title page information, the structure of body text, end matter, and references,
as well as notes on submission and journal policy. In version 2 of the table,
we added a brief introduction to the table, to explain that journal editors can
adapt it to their needs, e.g. by deleting or adding some rows whenever
necessary. <br />
<br />
Our initiative inspired others to share their suggestions for further steps
towards making the process of manuscript submission more efficient. For
example, <a href="https://ese.arphahub.com/article/52063/">Jaime Teixeira da
Silva in our journal</a> in July recommended elimination of pre-submission formatting
and cover letters. He emphasized that such “requirements imposed on academics
by journals or editors during initial manuscript submission may waste precious
time, energy, and financial resources, especially if a paper is desk-rejected,
and even more so when there are multiple rejections”. Consequently, EASE Council
decided to issue a simpler version 3 of the table in August, to promote simplification
of editorial requirements for initial submission. <br />
<br />In an article <a href="https://www.mdpi.com/2304-6775/8/3/40/htm" target="_blank">in the journal Publications</a>, Hans Oh called for an even more efficient submission process. Firstly, he recommended elimination
of unnecessary requirements and suggested the creation of centralized websites that serve many
journals, allowing for swift resubmissions from one journal to the next (e.g.
based on the Manuscript Exchange Common Approach initiative), or simply universal
adoption of a format-free initial submission policy. Secondly, Oh proposed that
user experience research could identify the most common errors made by
researchers during submission, which could be avoided by software improvement,
e.g. well-placed check boxes or radio buttons, drag-and-drop features (to make
uploading and ordering files easier) as well as auto-population of required
metadata by extracting information directly from the uploaded files. Thirdly, <a href="https://www.crossref.org/education/similarity-check/" target="_blank">Similarity Check</a> reports could be routinely used to prevent submission of manuscripts
that overlap significantly with other publications. Finally, Oh drew attention
to the exorbitant global cost of wasted time and effort due to unnecessary
submission requirements, but also to enormous societal costs of delaying
important publications due to technical barriers.<br /><br />In September, <a href="https://ese.arphahub.com/article/55817/">Thomas A. Lang in European
Science Editing</a> reviewed “Instructions for Authors” in various journals and
showed many examples of unsupported, unclear or unusually specific requirements
concerning initial manuscript submission. His article, as well as user
experience research, may aid journal editors in revising their requirements effectively.
This would greatly reduce the excessive bureaucratic workload of scientists and
leave them more time for research.<br />
<br />
To help spread the word about the urgent need for simplification of submission
processes in science journals, we have asked a team of volunteers to translate
a slightly improved version 3.1 of the table into many languages. As a result,
its <a href="https://ease.org.uk/publications/ease-statements-resources/quick-check-table-for-submissions/">translations
are already available on our website</a> in Dutch, German, Korean, Romanian,
Slovenian, Spanish, and Turkish, while Bosnian and Polish translations will be
finished soon. Volunteers who would like to translate the English version into
other languages should first contact EASE Secretary (<a href="mailto:secretary@ease.org.uk">secretary@ease.org.uk</a>), to avoid
duplication.<br />
<br />We hope that our new campaign will help increase the efficiency of
scientific communication worldwide and reduce research waste.
</span><span lang="PL"><span lang="PL"><span lang="PL">This is of vital
importance in our current situation, with many of our usual processes
and routines disruptred and aggravated continuously due to the pandemic, any attempts to save time and efforts are welcome. T</span></span>he initial extra effort of journal editors (linked to the revision of current
requirements) is worth it, as the more streamlined process of manuscript
submission is likely to decrease the risk of common errors made by researchers

I was given a wide brief to decide on the topic of my EASE blog, so I thought I’d write one that tries to encompass *everything* - I’ll explain what I mean by that.<br /><br />
In the past, Crossref has had the opportunity to talk to EASE members about the importance of registering content whose metadata contains important information related to the article. Richer metadata helps to connect the content to other key information such as who wrote it, who it was funded by, the relevant license, the research it cites, any updates to the work such as corrections and retractions, and <a href="https://doi.org/10.20316/ESE.2019.45.19010" target="_blank">the data that underpin the research</a>. The use of open persistent identifiers like DOIs, funder IDs, ORCID iDs and ROR IDs are always recommended.<br /><br />
Such rich and connected metadata also helps discoverability of the published research in a different way than just direct access; if you can find something based on looking at the publications related to a particular funder, author, or institution, then there are more ways to come across what you’re looking for. Making links between objects underpinning the research also helps put the research in context and can help further research by making connections to other valuable information that may have been more difficult to make otherwise.<br /><br />
I’ve mentioned the Research Nexus in the title of this post. It’s achieved by declaring relationships between publications and other associated research objects, and from those objects to related publications. The metadata that reveals relationships between research objects can be as informative as the objects themselves. These relationships can assert certain facts that may not be otherwise obvious: this is our goal with the Research Nexus. These relationships and assertions need to exist not just on the web pages of the outputs, but also reflected in a standard way in the metadata so that the information is computer-readable and can be used at scale. As Jennifer Lin, who coined the term, explains:<br /><br />
<blockquote>
“Researchers are adopting new tools that create consistency and shareability in their experimental methods. Increasingly, these are viewed as key components in driving reproducibility and replicability. They provide transparency in reporting key methodological and analytical information. They are also used for sharing the artefacts which make up a processing trail for the results: data, material, analytical code, and related software on which the conclusions of the paper rely. Where expert feedback was also shared, such reviews further enrich this record.”</blockquote><br />
In <a href="https://www.crossref.org/blog/the-research-nexus-better-research-through-better-metadata/" target="_blank">her Crossref blog</a>, Jennifer goes on to give some examples, including:<br />
● Linking to an <a href="https://doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.r89d9z6" target="_blank">entire collection of methods</a> and <a href="https://doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.itrcem6" target="_blank">video protocols</a> via Protocols.io<br />
● Linking to <a href="https://doi.org/10.21105/joss.00384" target="_blank">software and peer reviews</a> in JOSS<br />
● Linking to <a href="https://doi.org/10.1093/gigascience/gix045" target="_blank">preprint, data, code, source code, peer reviews in Gigascience</a><br /><br />
I’d include an additional example of linking research to the grant using the grant identifier and associated metadata from the funding section of <a href="https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0222922" target="_blank">this PLOS paper</a> (read more about the example from EuroPMC who <a href="http://blog.europepmc.org/2020/06/global-grant-ids-in-europe-pmc.html?m=1" target="_blank">register grants with Crossref for Wellcome)</a>.<br /><br />
These links can be established by adding them into the Crossref <a href="https://www.crossref.org/education/content-registration/structural-metadata/relationships/" target="_blank">relationship metadata</a> schema. The information is then made available to anyone via our open APIs, so that they can easily see and use the information.<br /><br />
In all of these, publishers and other parties are linking to associated research outputs to support the reproducibility and discoverability of content.<br /><br />
The reproducibility point is worth reiterating; EASE has always supported projects to maintain high standards around the review of research, publication standards and ethics, and the reduction of research waste. And connecting articles to data, preprints, protocols, and peer reviews, and making the relationships open for analysis will help achieve this.<br />

● Revisiting what we charge to encourage best practice. Starting in 2020, we have <a href="https://www.crossref.org/blog/encouraging-even-greater-reporting-of-corrections-and-retractions/" target="_blank">removed fees</a> for registering vital information on corrections, retractions and other Crossmark metadata. This is timely in light of the updates to the <a href="https://ease.org.uk/publications/ease-statements-resources/ease-standard-retraction-form/" target="_blank">EASE Standardised Retraction form.</a><br />
● We’re also working to remove fees for translations and versions that are linked together by the appropriate relationship metadata so that publishers posting translations or different versions of an article don’t have to pay multiple times for these. Our <a href="https://www.crossref.org/committees/membership-and-fees/" target="_blank">Membership & Fees Committee</a> is currently reviewing other ways we can support publishers keen to make these connections.<br />
● Finding ways to make it easier for publishers to collect this information from authors e.g. submission systems integrations with data repositories to collect robust information on article/data links. <br />
● Allowing the registration of peer review metadata for content other than journal articles e.g. books, preprints (coming soon).<br />
● Making it easier for publishers to register this information with us at Crossref via the provision of simple to use tools, interfaces and reporting. <br /><br />
The outputs of the research process, such as journal articles, don’t exist in isolation - you only have to look at the interest in the corpus of COVID-19 publications, preprints and associated data to see this. This thinking is also supported by campaigns like <a href="http://www.metadata2020.org/" target="_blank">Metadata 2020</a> advocating for “richer, connected, and reusable, open metadata will advance scholarly pursuits for the benefit of society." The relationships revealed by the Research Nexus may one day help progress research to realise benefits that help us all, providing we all make efforts to effectively support them. More to come…<br /><br /><br />
