We’re also learning a lot from the feedback we received, such as:
⌛Ensuring a suitable pace during a Live Review
🌐 Improving digital accessibility
🌟Contextualization: thinking about new research outputs to review alongside enabling others to adapt and hold Live Reviews for their own communities!
A white, rounded rectangle with a thick red border. At the top left corner are the words "Learning about Live Reviews" in all capitalized, bolded, italicized black text within a red-outlined oval. Next to the oval is the PREreview logo. Underneath the text and the logo is a red line. Underneath the red line is a black outlined red box with the title “What We’ve learned and are planning to improve:” in bolded, white text. Underneath the title are three icons in black, each accompanied by a category title. The first icon in the upper left corner is a stopwatch with a check symbol in the middle and three movement lines on the left. It is accompanied by the category title “Pace,” in bolded, italicized white text against a black oval. The second icon in the upper right corner is a globe surrounded by a laptop and phone with two cycling arrows. It is accompanied by the category title “Access,” in bolded, italicized white text against a black oval. The third icon in the bottom middle is a person symbol with arrows coming out and away from it on all sides in a circle. It is accompanied by the category title “Contextualization,” in bolded, italicized white text against a black oval. Underneath the icons is a red line. Underneath this red line is the all capitalized, italicized, black text: "What’s next? Community insights." In the bottom right corner is the number "06" in white text against a red, spiky, circular shape.

And countless folks named how valuable it was to be able to directly dialogue with and hear from the authors of the preprint they were reviewing; in fact, it was the aspect of Live Reviews that survey participants found most interesting, novel, and/or useful! (It’s one of our favorite parts, too!)

Underneath the red line is a red and white computer screen outlined in black with two people on a live video call. Underneath these screen are two black speech bubbles with various symbols, speaking to one another. Underneath the speech bubbles is a red line. Underneath this red line is the all capitalized, italicized, black text: "What’s next? Community insights?"

As for why people were encouraged to join another, similar event, people shared feedback that often fell into three main themes:
🫂Collaboration and community
❤️‍🔥Skill- and experience-building
🌀Openness and workflow
A white, rounded rectangle with a thick red border. At the top left corner are the words "Learning about Live Reviews" in all capitalized, bolded, italicized black text within a red-outlined oval. Next to the oval is the PREreview logo. Underneath the text and the logo is a red line. Underneath the red line is a black outlined box with the theme “Collaboration and Community” in bold, white text, accompanied by a quote: “There was a lot to learn from [the Live Review] regarding community engagement and co-learning, without compromising scientific curiosity and concerns.” On either side of the quote are two red quotation marks, one in the upper left and one in the bottom right corners of the box. Underneath the first box is a second box, themed “Skill- and experience-building,” accompanied by a quote: “It is an open discussion platform, where as a young researcher I can learn more.” Underneath the second box is a third box, themed “Openness and Workflow,” accompanied by a quote: “[The Live Review] was insightful, growth oriented.” Underneath the themed quotes is a red line. Underneath this red line is the all capitalized, italicized, black text: "What’s next? Community insights." In the bottom right corner is the page number "04" in white text against a red, spiky, circular shape.

We were also excited to learn that almost 70% (46) of survey participants are very likely to join another, similar event– and a little over 21% (14) are likely to join again; with a little over 9% (6) who are fairly likely to join again.
A white, rounded rectangle with a thick red border. At the top left corner are the words "Learning about Live Reviews" in all capitalized, bolded, italicized black text within a red-outlined oval. Next to the oval is the PREreview logo. Underneath the text and the logo is a red line. Underneath the red line is a graph titled “How Likely People are to Join a Similar Event Again” in bold black text. Underneath the title is a bar graph, with a legend or key of colors corresponding with numbers. 1 is green, 2 is yellow, 3 is black, 4 is dark red, and 5 is bright red. The graph has an x-axis labeled “Scale of likeliness (5 = very likely, 1 = not likely),” and a y-axis labeled “Number of responders.” The y-axis is scaled in increments of 10, going from 0 to 50. 1 and 2 have no bars because there are no responders who chose that response. 3 has a black bar reaching 6; 4 has a dark red bar reaching 14; and 5 has a bright red bar reaching 46. Underneath the bar graph is a red line. Underneath this red line is the all capitalized, italicized, black text: "What’s next? Community insights." In the bottom right corner is the page number "03" in white text against a red, spiky, circular shape.

Out of all of our survey participants, almost 60% were first time attendees, and about 40% were returners– we love having a mix of people with differing levels of experience with Live Reviews, as it makes our discussions all the more insightful.

Underneath the red line is a graph legend or key that says the red = first time attendees, and the black = returning participants. Underneath the legend or key is a pie chart. The red section makes up 59.1%, and the black section makes up 40.9%. Underneath the pie chart is a red line. Underneath this red line is the all capitalized, italicized, black text: "What’s next?

Now that you’ve learned about how PREreview #LiveReviews work and how you can participate, here’s what’s next!

Today, we're sharing an infographic on community insights we’re reflecting on and learning from to improve Live Reviews!

🔗 To learn more, check out: buff.ly/1lUGKNm and the infographic.
A white, rounded rectangle with a thick red border. At the top left corner is the PREreview logo, underneath which is a black outlined oval, in which are the words "learning about" in all capitalized, red-bolded letters. Underneath is black, bolded text that says "Live Reviews," with a red line underneath. Under the red line is a small number 1 in white text ,outlined in black within a black-outlined red square. Slightly to the left of the number is a large, black speech box with white text that says "What’s Next? Community insights."

Thank you for that question. We don't have a way to do that. The only way to publish a preprint review via prereview.org is to paste the DOI or URL of the preprint you want to review in the box at the beginning of the publication workflow. prereview.org/review-a-pre...
Screenshot of the PREreview website, step one of the preprint review publication in which users are asked to paste the digital object identifier of the preprint they want to review.
