Grateful to the @cos.io for sharing @csdisseminate.bsky.social’s latest preprint!
As members of a volunteer group promoting open science, this team sees preprints as a way to disseminate research faster & drive progress.

Their study explores faculty views on open science, showing both enthusiasm for a “culture shift” & ongoing barriers.
