I have a couple of questions: 1) how many members of the Nature Precedings forum have published an article in an open-access journal? 2) How many have posted a piece (article, poster, rant…) on Nature Precedings? I assume that members of this forum are just as interested in the role of open-access as I am, but I wonder what the active component is. For me it is merely a matter of timing, I am attending a meeting next week and will post my latest poster to the site to correspond with the meeting. How about you?
