Webinar description:
For researchers focused on today’s urgent global challenges, access to preprints can significantly speed up scientific progress. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of shortened publication timelines, but also the challenges of using non-peer-reviewed sources. With increased attention on preprints, how can you help your researchers confidently include unreviewed papers in their research process?

Join this session to learn how Clarivate has partnered with leading repositories to develop a new Preprint Citation Index on the Web of Science platform launching soon. With more than 2 million preprints at launch, this new Index helps libraries support their researchers to find the latest breakthroughs and confidently assess preprint literature across disciplines.

Hear from John Inglis from the bioRxiv print repository, and Francesca Buckland, Director of Product Management for Web of Science, on how the Preprint Citation Index can:
- Simplify the process of evaluating preprint quality
- Provide an understanding of a preprint author’s publishing history in journals selected by Clarivate’s editorial experts
- Notify researchers when new findings are available
- Connect researchers from preprint to other scholarly sources
