Faldo-paper: Is an early release to http://arxiv.org/ an option?

[Jerven Bolleman]

Hi all,

I am currently swamped (like all of us) with work. I won't have time to push the faldo-paper forward in the coming months. However,
people are starting to use it and it could be cited. Should we push the current version to a preprint server like
http://arxiv.org/?

ps. did you see the ebi rdf announcements :)

Regards,
Jerven

Hi Jerven,

I like the idea of posting a preprint, either to arXiv or to
the PeerJ PrePrints - but I'm not sure it is quite ready.
How about you set a deadline (say a couple of weeks,
or end of October) for us to pull it more into shape and
then post the preprint?

(I've been meaning to do more but there are plenty of
other currently more urgent jobs on my TODO list :( )

Thanks,

Peter

  I second that opinion. The preprint should not be a better draft, but a final manuscript for which we seek feedback.

  Setting a hard deadline -- end of November -- would be best. I can help with some editing and tearing the parts apart where I believe there are references missing.

  Is it possible to use PeerJ's PrePrints and have the final version in JBioMedSem? Is JBioMedSem fine with pre-prints?
