Question for #AcademicPublishing/ #OpenAccess/ #preprint nerd friends - how do people feel about #ResearchSquare?

Something about a preprint server run by a traditional publisher seems icky to me but I don't know if I'm being overly cynical

#Publikationsmanagement in der #OnePersonLibrary

#openAlex-Recherche zur Facette #preprint mit instititionellem Identifier über alle Jahre

Weiß jemand wie schnell openAlex aus welchen Quellen mit welchen Zeiträumen genau indexiert? Aus der Doku nicht ganz ersichtlich.

Fazit erste schnelle Auswertung: 26 versch. "Orte" wo "preprints" liegen, davon #arxiv|s, aber auch das franz. Repo #HAL, aber auch #RePEc und #ResearchSquare + einzelne Journals.

Bei über 400 Items, Jahre 1999-2024.

Our preprint on #OxfordNanopore #genome sequencing, assembly, and analysis of three critically endangered ash (Fraxinus) species in the olive family (Oleaceae) is up on #ResearchSquare :)

@rmounce Fancy things publishers believe... "number one multi-disciplinary preprint platform", "fastest growing", "language barriers eliminated".

I've never encountered a link to #ResearchSquare in the wild. There are less than 100 on the English Wikipedia.

Traffic currently comparable to MDPI's preprints.org but will probably grow with Springer's power. As #ResearchGate, a possible threat for real #OpenRepositories.

Good for them that they successfully outsourced the development to a JV.
