The focus for this year's Peer Review Week is 'Peer Review and the Future of Publishing'. In this blog post, Senior Publishing Editor, Andrew Dunn, reflects on some of the less traditional and more forward-looking models of publication and peer review that we support.

The Proceedings B preprint team invites authors of research published in preprint servers to submit to the journal for rigorous peer review and possible publication. We spoke to five authors about their experience of this process.

A new platform designed by scientists at Gladstone Institutes for studying how the immune system responds to hepatitis C virus could speed the hunt for a vaccine.

We spoke with members of the Proceedings B Preprint team about their experience reviewing preprints and how this contributes to their feelings of inclusion within the wider scientific community.

We regularly get questions from authors about the various versions of an article and our policy for them. Phil Hurst, Publisher at the Royal Society, answers your common questions.

Preprint and Associate Editor of Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Dr Maurine Neiman, from the University of Iowa, shared her thoughts on peer review and what makes a good review in scientific scholarly publishing.

In 2017, Proceedings B, in a new initiative, appointed a Preprint editor, Dr. Maurine Neiman from the University of Iowa. Along with her team of student editors, their role is to identify papers currently deposited on a preprint server, bioRxiv that would be suitable and within scope of the journal.

Like that of most other publishers, our publishing licence permits authors to deposit preprint versions of their articles in subject or institutional repositories at any time without embargo.
