Presented by: F1000, Gates Foundation and Library Journal
Event Date and Time: Tuesday, February 18, 2025 | 12:00 PM ET / 9:00 AM PT
In this webinar, we will explain the changes to the Gates Foundation’s open access policy that came into effect in January 2025, including the requirement for all Gates-funded research to be published as a preprint.
We will explain what preprints are, why they are valuable, and the ways that preprints can support researchers to disseminate their research findings quickly and transparently, while promoting unrestricted access and reuse of research funded by the Foundation.
To support grantees to comply with the revised policy, F1000 partnered with the Foundation to launch VeriXiv in August 2024: a new verified preprint platform that improves research integrity while enabling the rapid availability of research.
We will discuss the robust integrity checks that ensure the trustworthiness of outputs that are disseminated in advance of formal peer review. This will include an introduction to the VeriXiv submissions workflow, the pre-publication checks, and the post-VeriXiv routes for peer review and publication of the version of record article.
Presenters:
