There was a paper published showing that if proper approaches can be taken ONLY 5 days earlier in Wuhan, infection would be down by 76% in China
This is HUGE alarm to US if we are still early in the outbreak
There is little downside of being “too early” but massive upside

New study: "Italy’s Compagnia di San Paolo, Belgium’s FNRS and the UK’s Wellcome Trust [were the only surveyed research funders that] will only take compliant #openaccess publications into account when evaluating the track record of a grant applicant."

#Preprints like #peerreview has its own merits and serves different purposes. One should never be thought to replace the other, instead both can and will coexist to enrich the way we conduct, teach and share #science .

Now Corona Virus, but Zika, Malaria, Tuberculosis... etc etc. demonstrate the URGENCE of #OpenScience and #OpenData... Health solutions cannot wait for your paper in a "high" IF journal... As I always say: Science is like a Parachute... if it is not Open it will not help #EUOSPP

"At present, the floor couldn’t be lower. Of 250 journals that have been assessed according to TOP Factor, 40 failed to score a single point on any measure."
This article has a useful visualization of TOP Factors of first 250 journals rated. natureindex.com/news-blog/to…

Dear @nature,
Can you explain how you come to produce a ranking of the “best” universities based on how many papers are published in “top” journals, when you are signatories to @DORAssessment, one of whose fundamental principles is *not* to do this? natureindex.com/news-blog/to…

Introducing TOP Factor, a rating assessing journal policies on transparency & reproducibility.
At present, journals are evaluated only on Journal Impact Factor, a metric that incentivizes selecting exciting over credible. TOP Factor is values-based. 1/

TL;DR: Comparing peer reviewed journals to preprints is comparing apples to oranges, or bacteria to viruses.

Based on the scientific community's collective response to a recent preprint on #coronavirus, we now see the true value of #preprints - "fostering scientific communication and rapid awareness of others’ work"
