Preprints.org Webinar | Who Has a Voice in Open Science?, 13 October 2025


In Open Science, “having a voice” means more than simply being heard. It is about meaningful participation in creating, sharing, and advancing knowledge. Yet, not all participants, whether authors, readers, platforms, or institutions, have equal influence.

This webinar, hosted by Preprints.org, invites advocates from the open science community and platform leaders to ask, “Who Has a Voice in Open Science?” and explore how diverse perspectives, along with the growing role of preprints, can foster a more inclusive and collaborative research culture.

Date: 13 October 2025
Time: 8.00 a.m. PDT |5.00 p.m. CEST | 11.00 p.m. CST Asia
