Redish Lab on Nostr: Are there better preprint servers than #bioRxiv? Every time I try to post something ...
Are there better preprint servers than #bioRxiv? Every time I try to post something to #bioRxiv, I have to fight with them that a paper doing new analyses on real data is a "real paper" just because we also do a good job of placing our results in the literature.
Moreover, #bioRxiv has an explicit policy that new theoretical insights are "not suitable for posting" (meaning they don't think theory is a real contribution to the literature), which is bad for science. What are the better other options?
It's almost (almost) as bad as fighting with editorial desk-rejections at a real journal.
