That's already a requirement for a huge amount of research.
- a_bonobo 2y agoYes but you still need the journal's stamp of approval for your CV - in my past life having the paper on biorxiv did not count towards anything. The number of papers per year in the top 20% of journals in the field was one of two metrics they assessed my career progression by (along with grant money). As long as universities and funders require similar journal-based KPIs we will not make any progress.
