PubPub newsletter subscribers received this newsletter on August 12, 2020. You can view it here on Mailchimp. Consider subscribing to our monthly newsletters for updates about the platform, news from our communities, and things we’re thinking about.


Hello all, 


Looking back, this month has been all about building on and fine-tuning existing things. You'll notice this in our platform updates, but also in our community news. Two books that went through open peer review on PubPub are now "final" and out in the world in print and... open access on PubPub! Our readings seek to ground us, both in the history of what we're up to and in a broader modern context. 

And be sure to catch the KFG 2020 Annual Report. It may be listed last, but it's worth a spot at the top of your reading list (or open tabs) — especially if you're curious to know more about how PubPub fits into the KFG's larger mission of ensuring public knowledge exists as a public good.
 
As always, thank you for reading and contributing,
Your PubPub team


Advanced Crossref depositing

We’ve made some big updates to Crossref depositing to support preprints, workflows that use accepted manuscripts, and to use our new Connections feature. You can now select a deposit’s content version — preprint, advance manuscript, or version of record, allowing you to deposit a Pub as a preprint, or as an advance manuscript and then later as a version of record. The upgrades also make use of PubPub’s new Connections feature, announced last month. If your Pub has any Connections, we’ll submit those to Crossref as Relationships, allowing others to discovery those related items. Finally, PubPub now displays a preview of what we’ll submit to Crossref, making it easier to see how your Pub will be deposited ahead of time.

Custom publication date

You can now set a custom publication date for Pubs, allowing you to import existing content onto the platform and back-date it appropriately.
