Matthias, L., Pampel, H., Khamis, C. O., Rothfritz, L., & Wrzesinski, M. (2025). Preprints: Handlungsfeld für institutionelle Open-Access-Repositorien. Pro OAR DE Handreichung. Zenodo. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15603096
This publication stems from our November 13, 2024 networking forum on preprints and institutional repositories, which brought together 59 Open Access professionals from across Germany. The guide captures the collective expertise and insights generated during this collaborative event, offering practical recommendations to enhance how institutional repositories handle preprints.
Following expert presentations by Lea-Maria Ferguson (Helmholtz Open Science Office) and Alexander Wagner (DESY), participants engaged in dynamic discussions in a “world café” format where they shared experiences and developed solutions to common obstacles. The presentation slides are available online.“
