#Preprint sites #bioRxiv and #medRxiv launch new era of independence
The popular repositories, where life #scientists post research before #peerreview, will be managed by a new organization called #openRxiv.
Until now, they had been managed by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. The new organization, named openRxiv, will have a board of directors and a scientific and medical advisory board. It is supported by a fresh US$16M grant from Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI).

So yesterday i read a promotion `article´ in #biorxiv from a company proposing an #AI pipeline to write from proposal grants to the article ... "to allow the researcher to focus on the important things" and today I read a post saying that #Nature is thinking to used AI to be part of the peer review process.🙄 I think it is time for scientists, scientific bodies , National Academies of science... to put an end to this madness. All that money used for this | "help me to find the correct term " | is diverted from actual grant money, fair and actual smart research.

#bioRxiv has been down for 2 days for maintenance. This reliance on centralized repositories with no ability to mirror their site during maintenance is concerning. With recent talk of needing to decentralize #Pubmed, I think it's time we consider preprint servers as well. Solutions? Funding? How do we keep it neutral, away from the grubby hands of capitalism and governments gone wrong?

Everything is worrying at the moment but something I am wondering is if we should worry about the scientific publishers. Elsevier, Nature, #PLoS, maybe even #BiorXiv and others - is it possible that the US government forces them to either stop publishing, delete some or all of their published papers, or only accept papers that correspond to specific criteria?

Edited because I thought most of these were US-based but they are not.

Please tell me there is nothing to worry about on that front at least..

One co-author was curious about the little bright coloured buttons on the side of our new #bioRxiv #preprint. He clicked on the "automated services"... and found there 2 "#AIbstracts" of our manuscript, #AI generated #blurbs factually nearly correct and featuring only slighlty more than usual the commonplace attention catchers we scientists use.

Old news, it seems, though, but I hadn't noted it before.

ScienceCast is an open platform where researchers can use #AI to create casts about their own research, as well as comment on the work of other scientists. Currently, the platform only supports papers from #arXiv and #bioRxiv, so I created several audio tracks based on my preprints:

Of course, the author can tell a much more interesting story about his/her work, but as a tool for additional fast promotion of preprints on social networks, it is quite OK.
