Abstract
A Preprint is defined as a full draft research paper that is shared publicly before it has been peer reviewed. Graduate students and early career researchers have used preprints as a way of improving and refining papers before publishing in a peer reviewed journal. This session will explore vision and pros and cons of Preprints in Science and Technology related disciplines. Beginning with recent developments in the Preprints universe through increased submissions during the pandemic, the session will explore the course of evolving science and technology aspects of scholarly communication. The session will culminate through engaging conversations about the future of open access in literature, and more generally on the scientific publishing landscape, and new roles for Open Science.
