Sign the Publish Your Reviews pledge
We invite all researchers interested in promoting more open dialog around preprints to sign the following pledge:
When a journal invites me to review an article that is available as a preprint, I will publish my review alongside the preprint. I will make sure that the published version of my review does not include the journal name, a recommendation for publication, or other confidential information.

I am a research fellow at the University of Guilan, Iran, and looking for new international scientific collaborations. I did my PhD at Leiden University, the Netherlands and I am interested in how anthropogenic sound affects the behaviour of fishes and crustaceans. I believe it is necessary to communicate with other scientists in the same field of research and even further interfield research and also provide access for early career researchers to research all around the world in effective ways.

I am a doctoral candidate at the National Institute of Animal Biotechnology, Hyderabad, India. My research interests are host-pathogen Interactions, population genetics, and transcriptional regulation.

I am a PhD candidate in the Medicinal Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology (MCMP) Department at Purdue University, Indiana, USA. In my current doctoral thesis work, I focus on understanding how epigenetic regulators facilitate neuroendocrine differentiation in prostate cancer. I am excited about science communication as I am eager to learn how to communicate lab research to a broader audience. I firmly believe in today’s time of well-connected cross-continent collaborations it is necessary to promote the benefits of open transparent scientific review and timely communication of scientific findings.

I am trained as a cell and developmental biologist and worked on cellular mechanisms regulating the ciliary disassembly and thereafter early developmental regulatory mechanisms of collective cell migration in vertebrates. I am also involved in advocating science communication, preprints, and open access for scientific research. I believe that communicating science is like interacting with different ideas and thoughts which further leads to open and transparent science to the broader audience in society.
