Virtual RoomSeveral seminars are held weekly at the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência, an initiative that aims to bring together all researchers around the topics under discussion.
The sessions, with internal researchers or guests, contribute to stimulate the open and extremely collaborative culture of the IGC.
You can read the abstract of this seminar to learn more about it.
The traditional publication process slows dissemination of new research because of delays due to peer review and manuscript revision. Preprint servers speed things up by decoupling dissemination of manuscripts from their evaluation. bioRxiv and medRxiv have brought this approach to the life sciences and have played a critical role in the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing scientists to share new discoveries about SARS-CoV-2 virology, host immune responses, and COVID-19 treatments immediately with other researchers from all around the world. Preprints allow researchers to receive feedback and provide evidence of productivity long before formal publication, which is particularly beneficial for early career researchers. Decoupling of dissemination via bioRxiv and medRxiv is also encouraging new initiatives that experiment with the peer review process and point to a more open and inclusive publishing ecosystem.
