  • what is a preprint?
  • what are the reasons for publishing a preprint: advantages and issues
  • where can you find and publish a preprint and what do different preprint servers provide?
  • issues that may arise, for example plagiarism, previous REF requirements and future directions

Presenters:

  • Catherine Borwick, Scholarly Communications Librarian
  • Karina Bradshaw, Faculty Librarian: Sciences. Subject Librarian: Department of Life Sciences: Biosciences and Department of Physics and Natural Sciences programmes.
  • Simon Hayhoe, Reader: Department of Education
