Finding preprints across many different platforms can be difficult. Here we explain how Europe PMC has built a database of life science preprints.

With the start of the new year Europe PMC reflects back on the year 2022. As many of us adjusted to hybrid working, with the opportunity to return back to the office, meet new colleagues, and attend conferences and workshops in person again for the first time since the pandemic, Europe PMC’s efforts continued to […]

Europe PMC now includes the full text preprints supported by Europe PMC funders Open science is at the heart of Europe PMC, providing access to open content and data. Recognising the role that preprints play as a way for life science researchers to openly and rapidly share their findings, Europe PMC has made over 420,000 […]

We are delighted to announce that SciELO Preprints are now discoverable in Europe PMC.  SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online) is a bibliographic database, digital library, and cooperative electronic publishing model of open access journals. It was originally established in Brazil in 1997 and has since expanded to include collections from 16 countries, predominantly in Latin […]

Part of the appeal of preprints is the ability to post new versions, allowing researchers to continuously improve their manuscript and correct it if needed. However, in some cases the data or its interpretation presented in the preprint may be proven incorrect with time. In such cases the authors may wish to withdraw or remove […]

Keeping up with the current published research has long been a challenging task. With preprints added to the mix, research is shared much quicker, extending the reading list and fuelling information overload. There is a need for useful tools to help researchers stay on top of the new discoveries that are most relevant to their […]

PsyArXiv preprints are now discoverable in Europe PMC alongside peer-reviewed research PsyArXiv’s collection of more than 14,000 psychological sciences preprints has now been indexed in Europe PMC, an open science platform that enables access to a worldwide collection of 38.6 million life science publications and preprints. “Indexing PsyArXiv in Europe PMC means that psychological preprints […]

In this pandemic, researchers have responded by publishing results rapidly, often through preprints. In fact, up to half of the publications in Europe PMC on COVID-19 are preprints rather than peer-reviewed journal articles. Currently, the full text of these preprints are scattered as PDFs on preprint servers, or, available as a non-standard set of documents […]

Europe PMC is a searchable database that allows access to life sciences publications worldwide including preprints and micropublications. Europe PMC offers cutting-edge tools to improve the discovery of articles around a topic of interest and provides links to the data behind the articles. In a commitment to open science, Europe PMC flags articles that are […]
