Paris and Palermo, 20-Aug-2018.
Dr Pagliaro has been invited to join the steering committee of
FrenXiv, the French
server for Preprints in all the scientific fields.
"
I am
particularly
pleased to join the steering committee of FrenXiv as our links with
France's scientific community go back to the early 2000s when I was
maître de conférences at Montpellier's ENSCM" said
Dr
Pagliaro in a comment.
The role of a committee member is
consultative and
scientific
support.
In other words, the role of a steering committee member is basically
scientific, punctual, and quick consultancy on a manuscript in her/his
field of specialization.
FrenXiv
Launched on June 2018, the new preprint FrenXiv service
provides free,
open access,
open source archives for the French and global research communities.
The serive is built on the Open Science Framework (OSF) flagship
platform owned by the
Center
for Open Science,
a non-profit technology organization based in Charlottesville,
Virginia, helping
researchers design and manage their project workflow, data storage, and
collaboration.
Eighteen preprint services currently are hosted on the OSF preprints
platform.
Founded by Professor
Brian
Nosek the mission of the Center for
Open Science is to
"increase the openness, integrity, and reproducibility of scientific
research".
Preprints
A preprint is a draft of a scientific paper that has not yet been
peer-reviewed for formal publication in a scientific journal.
On August 2007, Dr Pagliaro co-authored a study on Preprints in
chemistry, whose
preprint
currently is the most read chemistry article on Preprints, a preprint
server.
The peer-reviewed article following the preprint,
'Has
the Time Come for Preprints in Chemistry?', published (in
open access) in
ACS
Omega 2 (2017) 7923-7928 is among the key studies
on preprints in chemical sciences.
