Myths and Misconceptions: Preprints, Open Access, and Data Sharing

Myths and Misconceptions: Preprints, Open Access, and Data Sharing Online

Sharing articles and data benefits creators, the research community, and beyond by making sure that work has the largest possible impact and is neither ignored nor unnecessarily duplicated. The need for quick dissemination and scientific progress has been particularly evident during the COVID-19 pandemic. This session will touch on the positive implications of sharing research and address some myths and misconceptions. Preprints, published articles and research data can be shared safely and ethically in the ongoing combat against the pandemic.

  • Differentiate between open access and predatory publishing
  • Recognize the positive implications of OA for authors
  • Identify how data can be shared ethically
