Enabling preprint discovery, evaluation, and analysis with Europe PMC
This article has 4 authors:Mark Williams
An outline of how our friends at EuropePMC index preprints and their evaluation activity, which includes reviews from Sciety groups provided via Docmaps. The data shows "As of 4 April 2024 there are 12,209 reviewed preprints in Europe PMC", whereas on Sciety this number is 33,046 evaluated preprints. They cite challenges of; "Distributed access points, Limited metadata, Divergence of practices and standards, Lack of machine-readable status updates" all of which resonate with the work on Sciety and by working together as part of a Preprint Review Metadata working group, we can go some way to overcoming these.

Robustness of evidence reported in preprints during peer review
This article has 6 authors:Mark Williams
This paper adds to evidence supporting publishing results early through preprinting and dispelling concerns about reliability compared to what are traditionally called "published" papers. The article activity on Sciety shows the versions published to Research Square and to the journal.
From the discussion of the paper:
"Overall, articles submitted to preprint servers by researchers, especially on COVID-19, are largely complete versions of similar quality to published papers and can be expected to change little during peer review. " -

The Publication Facts Label: Ascertaining a Publication’s Adherence to Scholarly Standards
This article has 2 authors:Mark Williams
This article discusses the
"development of a Publication Facts Label (modeled on the nutrition facts label appearing on food products). It is designed to accompany journal research articles, and consolidates data for eight scholarly publishing standards, with a goal of informing and educating readers about such standards"
It is being trialed with OSF publications.
I came across this whilst reading this post https://oaspa.org/report-from-equity-in-oa-workshop-4-part-2-trust-as-the-new-prestige/ which advocates for transparency in publishing practices to inspire trust over traditional prestige metrics.
