Preprints: opportunity or challenge?

This poster was presented at the LIBER 2019 conference (26 June 2019, Dublin) and outlines the work undertaken by Knowledge Exchange and Research Consulting on the Practices, drivers and impediments in the use of preprints. The poster summaries the work published in our initial report on ‘The evolving preprint landscape' in 2018, as well as the first output of our next stage of work in this exciting field – a slide deck detailing our findings on the practices, drivers and impediments in the use of preprints (Phase 1 report - DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.2654832) We will continue to investigate the area until September 2019, when we plan to release a more detailed report unpicking the evidence gathered
