ASAPbio welcomes applications for support to convert existing journal clubs into preprint review clubs (local versions of crowd preprint review). Support is provided in the form of a gift card to cover refreshments for journal club attendees. It is expected that each club will produce 4 reviews of preprints that will be publicly posted to the platform of choice (e.g. PREreview or as a comment on the server). Applications are open to departmental journal clubs and individual lab journal clubs.

ASAPbio will provide converted journal clubs with a guide on how to run a crowd preprint review club and are available to deliver a session about preprints to the journal clubs. Converted journal clubs will be highlighted on the ASAPbio website on a map with links to the relevant departments.
