Open Science Modus Operandi of Research Communication
April 25, 2023, 11:00 - 12:30 (BRT/UTC-3)

About
Preprints promote the rapid and open sharing of research, typically prior to formal peer review. However, they also carry another benefit: they enable peer review to proceed in new and more productive ways. Open feedback and review of preprints can promote more rigorous and informative evaluation that involves broader participation from the scholarly community. In this session, we will explore different approaches to public feedback on preprints and a vision for a future in which they change the structure of scientific communication to promote collaboration at earlier stages in the research cycle.

About Kleber Neves
Kleber Neves has a bachelor’s degree in biomedical sciences from the Federal University of Rio de Janeir and a PhD in Neurosciences from the same institution. He did research on the evolution of the nervous system and of cognition. He was then part of the coordinating team of the Brazilian Reproducibility Initiative, working with metascience, biostatistics, reproducibility and scientometrics. He is part of the Board of Directors of ASAPBio. At Serrapilheira, he works as manager in the Science Program, taking care of the program’s impact evaluation and open science activities.
About Vanessa Fairhurst
Vanessa is Community Manager at PREreview. She works to support and empower communities of researchers, particularly those at early stages of their career and historically excluded to conduct socially conscious preprint peer review. She studied her undergraduate in European Languages and Business Management before going onto study her Master’s in Applied and Professional Ethics. Openness, accessibility, and equity have always been central to Vanessa’s work. Prior to PREreview she began her career in academia working at international development organization INASP with a focus on improving access to scholarly information and research in developing countries before supporting publishers around the world as Community Engagement Manager at Crossref.
