- Preprint Journal Clubs: the incorporation of preprints into journal club discussions not only helps improve preprint discoverability, but it also provides an opportunity to provide feedback to the authors to help improve the manuscript before it's published. By writing a preprint review, this also encourages early career scientists to practice peer review. There are platforms available to post your preprint review online, e.g. PREreview and Academic Karma. A blog post about preprint journal clubs and available platforms can be found on eLife Labs here.
