Welcome to our bonus episode featuring the end-of-year event of the Rwanda Preprint Club currently known as the Review and Curate Club.
Dine Roseline Dzekem (ORCID: 0000-0002-8210-9258) created the Review and Curate Club, an open-science and open-access club in Africa, which is operated by an enthusiastic committee. It aims to promote open science by boosting awareness of preprints, scientific processes, prereview, and curation.
The Review and Curate Club wrapped up the year 2024 with a webinar titled "Advocating for Preprint Sharing in Rwanda and Africa." The event served as a platform to emphasize the growing importance of preprints in fostering collaboration, accelerating research, and building a stronger Open Science community in Africa.
Four guest speakers have been featured with presentations on the key scholarly services for preprint sharing and community-based peer review:
Jonny Coates from ASAPbio gave an overview of the African and global preprint landscape;
Jo Havemann from Access 2 Perspectives provided an overview of Open Science, Open Access principles, and the opportunity to share preprints via the continental research repository AfricArXiv;
Ogunniyi Tolulope Joseph, from the Review and Curate Club, presented the Needs assessment results “Promoting Preprint Awareness and Adoption in Africa: A Need-Driven Perspective From the African Region / https://africarxiv.ubuntunet.net/handle/1/1798” conducted by the club; and
Vanessa Fairhurst from PREreview discussed the services and activities of PREreview, and the value of collaborative peer review.
Dine Roseline Dzekem, rounded up the event by sharing the club's journey, achievements, challenges, and exciting plans for the future.
