I just wanted to thank all the crew at the CDL and at PLOS for making this happen. A lot of programming went into this, and these new capabilities should make it easier to create similar partnerships in the future. Congrats to everyone!

Hi @Bruce Caron, do you know how many preprints from PLOS are in EarthArXiv as of today? I think it's just over 40. It would be useful to know for their webinar this afternoon.

Over 40 is a good bet... Do you want me to ping the CDL to get the exacat number?

A new blog post today from PLOS about the connection: https://theplosblog.plos.org/2023/09/earth-science-authors-choose-preprints/

Earlier this year, we made major progress in our efforts to increase access to preprinting when we partnered with EarthArXiv to offer facilitated preprint posting in the fields of earth and planetary science. Since January 31st, authors submitting to any of our three earth science-related journals have had the option to forward their manuscript to EarthArXiv with just a few clicks. And they have!

At PLOS Climate, 33% of published authors who submitted after the partnership went into effect chose to post a preprint using the integration. For PLOS Water authors that number is 47%. Six months after the launch of the integration, EarthArXiv preprints associated with PLOS submissions have already received more than 7,100 views and 3,900 downloads on the platform. This success follows in the footsteps of longstanding partnerships with the servers bioRxiv and medRxiv.
