Discover bioRxiv: a freely accessible, citable preprint server for biology
...
BioRxiv is modeled after arXiv, a well-established service provided by
Cornell University for the physics research community. BioRxiv’s advisors
include arXiv creator Paul Ginsparg, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory’s Mike
Wigler, Leonid Kruglyak (UCLA and HHMI), Pam Silver (Harvard), and Anurag
Acharya, co-founder of Google Scholar. Kruglyak says the site has a good
shot at success because biology preprints are catching on. In the last
couple of years, many quantitative biologists have been sending preprints to
arXiv, Kruglyak notes. But that repository "is not designed to appeal to
biologists more broadly", he says.
To post to bioRxiv, an investigator submits an unpublished manuscript
through a web portal; bioRxiv accepts submissions from all areas of the life
sciences. The manuscript is then passed on to scientists who have agreed to
be bioRxiv affiliates, several of whom are Assistant and Associate
Professors here at the Laboratory. If they deem the manuscript to be
legitimate science, it is published on the bioRxiv website where it is
freely available to read.
Such preprints are therefore not peer reviewed in the traditional sense,
since bioRxiv is a distribution service for manuscripts, not a journal.
Instead, the community at large has the opportunity to discuss the merits
and weaknesses of a manuscript through web-based, moderated comments or by
direct interaction with the author.
