Tackling information overload: identifying relevant preprints and reviewers https://t.co/dyQ2xv51v4

From Paul Ginsparg: "I do not claim that preprint distribution is a universal panacea for delays and biases of peer-reviewed journal publication but, rather, I would suggest that with proper context the benefits can far outweigh the risks."

Really important initiative. Sponsoring Open research in small virtual groups is one of the most effective ways of creating new innovative research and infrastructure

[Nat Friedman @natfriedman]

We’ve just added built-in citation support to GitHub so researchers and scientists can more easily receive acknowledgments for their contributions to software.

Just push a CITATION.cff file and we’ll add a handy widget to the repo sidebar for you.

Enjoy! 🎉
