The challenge in some fields is that scientists feel that their main advance is conceptual rather than data sharing. It should be more than just the glossy final publication, we should learn something of the process by which we get there – and the preprint version is part of that process. If you want science to move forward, you have to share it. I was speaking because of my involvement in bioRxiv. It was a debate about whether posting preprints should be compulsory. I really started thinking deeply about preprints several years ago, when I was asked to speak at the Wellcome Sanger Institute. Why are preprints important and what are the advantages they bring for researchers? A requirement in the EMBL Open Science policy for publications is to post a preprint. You served on the bioRxiv Scientific Advisory Board and as Deputy Editor of eLife, a journal that now exclusively reviews preprints. In light of the new policy, Victoria Yan, member of the EMBL Office for Scientific Information, talked to EMBO Director and EMBL Group Leader Fiona Watt about the advantages and challenges for scientists in adopting more open practices.
