New NLM Tutorial Available: Preprints: Accelerating Research

New NLM Tutorial Available: Preprints: Accelerating Research. NLM Tech Bull. 2021 Sep-Oct;(442):b13.

October 20, 2021 [posted]

What are preprints, and how are they changing the way biomedical research results are shared? Should you use information from preprints? Should you share your own research results in a preprint? The Preprints: Accelerating Research tutorial is a 1-hour online, self-paced course from the National Library of Medicine (NLM) for researchers, librarians, and others that explains the basics of preprints, and explores the benefits and considerations of using and submitting preprints. (See also the NIH Preprint Pilot information page and NIH Preprint Pilot: A Librarian's Toolkit.)

This class provides 1 Medical Library Association (MLA) continuing education (CE) credit. To receive MLA CE, register to take the tutorial in Moodle.
