Promotional flyer for openRxiv at Cell Bio 2025, December 6-10 in Philadelphia, PA, booth #1134, with a background of illustrated cells.

openRxiv is heading to Cell Bio 2025 in Philadelphia 🔬
See us at Booth 1134 with Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press from December 6-10. We’re excited to meet the community, share what we’re building, and talk about the future of open science. We hope to see you there.

So today on this #GivingTuesday it's a chance to celebrate + support the people and orgs behind open infrastructure.

Donate, volunteer, amplify—it all counts in supporting and contribute to this work. 💚

#OpenInfrastructure

But here’s the paradox: When infrastructure works, it can be invisible.

The better it functions, the easier it is to overlook, especially when it’s time to show support.

#GivingTuesday #OpenScience

...
@cos.io
@investinopen.bsky.social
@orcid.org
@openalexix.bsky.social

They make collaboration + discovery possible.

#OpenSource #OpenData

Just a few of the quiet champions behind open research are orgs like:

@datadryad.bsky.social
@creativecommons.bsky.social
@prereview.bsky.social
@carpentries.carpentries.org
@pyopensci.org
@ropensci.org
@thecscce.bsky.social
@datacite.org
@crossref.bsky.social
...

Scientific open infrastructure is the invisible backbone of research. It’s what connects scientists across disciplines + borders, builds essential skills, sparks collaboration, and preserves knowledge for future discovery.

Building trust, building together: In San Diego @continuous.foundation & openRxiv hosted a workshop bringing together developers of scientific communications tools. Implementation focused, and most importantly we got to work together.

bioRxiv and medRxiv experienced an outage this morning due to the global Cloudflare outage. The sites were unavailable for several hours and may be slow or intermittently unresponsive as services recover. There is no impact on submissions or underlying data. Thank you for your patience.

This pilot expands the @biorxiv-medrxiv.bsky.social review ecosystem alongside bioRxiv/medRxiv to journal transfers, TRiP transparent reviews, @prereview.bsky.social, & @asapbio.bsky.social partnerships.

As preprints decouple dissemination from review, we hope to enable experiments in review.

Founded by molecular biologist @odedrechavi.bsky.social and colleagues, q.e.d. analyzes claims against data, identifies gaps, and highlights original contributions, typically delivering detailed reports for authors in ~30 minutes.

Enabling options for review: bioRxiv authors now have the option to send their preprints directly to @qedscience.bsky.social , an authors-centered AI review platform, for automated feedback on their paper.

bioRxiv now partners with @datadryad.bsky.social to facilitate transparent data sharing. Authors can add and connect their preprints to Dryad datasets without leaving the bioRxiv submission system. Once posted, a green checkmark on the preprint page indicates Dryad's curation.

🔗 buff.ly/KVS5YMi

See the step-by-step guide for adding your data with your preprint on bioRxiv: connect.biorxiv.org/news/2025/09...

🎉 openRxiv & @datadryad.bsky.social are excited to announce our new partnership & integration, streamlining data sharing with preprints.

📊 Now while posting to #bioRxiv you'll have the option to upload data to Dryad at the same time.
