Peer Community In, a free and transparent recommendation process of preprints based on peer review

Peer Community In (PCI) is a non-profit and non-commercial open-science initiative managed by scientists for scientists, that aims to create specific communities of researchers recommending preprints in their field. The recommendation of an article is a citable editorial decision made by a recommender based on one or several rounds of rigorous and transparent peer review. Once recommended by PCI, articles become citable valid references, similar to journal articles, but they can still be submitted to a journal. PCI is supported by many universities and major research institutes, and the whole process is free for any user (readers, authors…). In this session, after a short presentation of the way PCI works, we will be happy to answer questions and discuss with the participants.
