Ep. 3: The authors declined to discuss the work with C&EN for this story
C&EN reporter Tien Nguyen takes us inside her months-long dealings with ChemRxiv, one of chemistry’s new preprints servers. She examines the benefits, questions, and frustrations presented by the server—not the least of which was chemists unwilling to discuss their own work with us. But it’s not all doom and gloom. We kinda got a Science publication out of this story. UPDATE: On March 16, 2018, Angewandte Chemie announced on Twitter that its editorial board voted to allow submissions of papers posted as preprints on ChemRxiv. https://twitter.com/angew_chem/status/974603394219462656?s=20 Nominate chemists for C&EN’s Talented 12 Class of 2018: http://talented12.cenmag.org/nominate-candidates-for-2018/ All music in this podcast is by Lee Rosevere and licensed under CC BY 4.0. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ The music you heard first and most often was “Puzzle Pieces.” http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Lee_Rosevere/Music_For_Podcasts_2/Lee_Rosevere_-_Music_for_Podcasts_2_-_10_Puzzle_Pieces The music just before the break was “Sad Marimba Planet,” and the music playing during the call for T12 nominations was “Southside.” http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Lee_Rosevere/Music_for_Podcasts_4/Lee_Rosevere_-_Music_for_Podcasts_4_-_02_Sad_Marimba_Planet http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Lee_Rosevere/Music_for_Podcasts_4/Lee_Rosevere_-_Music_for_Podcasts_4_-_09_Southside And the music at the end of the episode is “Credit Roll.” http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Lee_Rosevere/Music_For_Podcasts/Lee_Rosevere_-_Music_For_Podcasts_-_13_Credit_Roll Hosted by Tien Nguyen, Matt Davenport, and Kerri Jansen Written by Tien Nguyen Produced by Matt Davenport
