Preprints as knowledge translation: Another way of opening science to the public
In 2024, KT Connects is focusing on open science — the practice of making scientific inputs, outputs, and processes freely available to all with minimal restrictions. Learn more.
Webinar summary
Wednesday, November 6
1 – 2 p.m. PST
Preprints are research papers made publicly available before journal peer review and publishing in scientific journals. They allow rapid and free sharing of findings within and beyond academia. Recent research suggests that journalists also report on them. This brings new challenges and opportunities for making research knowledge public.
This session will introduce participants to preprints as one means to make science more open, as well as key points to remember when using them as a knowledge translation method.
Learning objectives
After this webinar, the audience will be able to:
- Understand the unique role preprints play within the open science movement
- Understand how journalists use preprints and the potential benefits and risks of preprint media coverage for the public
- Identify ways to share preprint research that provide journalists and their audiences with the necessary context to interpret research findings accurately.
