  • PRC: the P stands for problem?

    Publish, Review, Curate (PRC) is currently gaining traction as a path forward in open science. However, this has seemingly become a goal which risks damaging stand alone preprinting, replicating many of the biggest issues with the current system and limiting discourse and alternative experiments.


    Join our walk as we discuss PRC and outline potential problems with this effort. We also provide a short update on Rippling Ideas.
