Abstract

ASAPbio is an initiative that aims to promote the uptake of preprints in the biomedical sciences and in other life science communities. It organized an initial workshop in February of 2016 that brought the different stakeholders together: researchers, institutions, funders, publishers and others. This was followed by a workshop in May that brought together funders around the concept of preprint services. In August, a third workshop was held with technology and infrastructure providers to discuss technical aspects of how such services might look and how they would interact with existing standards or platforms. This document is both a report on the results of this third workshop and an exploration of potential next steps.
