@johannes_lehmann@fediscience.org yeah, all true, and I agree that funders have the power to change things. But how are pre-prints alternative ways of review?

@bleistifterin@fnordon.de Pre-prints aren’t a form of review, but multiple forms of reviewing preprints already exists. The Gates Foundation own preprint repository (https://gatesopenresearch.org/browse/articles) includes peer review on preprints based on the F1000 platform, as does the one run by the Wellcome Trust. Preprint peer review can even take the form of a classic journal, e.g. eLife - but uncoupling review from publication circumnavigates many (certainly not all!) of the issues with the current publishing system.
