Did you know literature databases index preprints?

In Europe PMC you can discover preprints from 34 different preprint servers alongside peer reviewed research!

Since 2018, Europe PMC has made 1 million preprints searchable.

What might seem like a small announcement—it’s just one institution—actually carries substantial weight and has a strong symbolic meaning.

@utrechtuniversity.bsky.social, has taken another bold step: it won't renew its Web of Science license. www.uu.nl/en/news/acce...
Access to Web of Science will end on 1 January 2026
The university library has decided not to renew the licence for access to the Web of Science citation database (including Journal Citation Reports).

This looks like an interesting study on new forms of scientific misconduct where authors explicitly give instructions to LLM (via prompts in white text hidden in manuscript) to generate positive "peer reviews" for their paper.

SRs conducted in under 2 days by LLM?? Seems hard to believe, but probably worth a read!

The preprint of the study where we compare a common method in Latin America to determine cardiac output in low resource settings is out!

Despite its popularity, the "taller hemodinámico" which uses arterial and venous blood gas analysis performs poorly compared to other accessible methods (TTE).
