Hello everyone! In this post we will detail our beta testing phase,
hopefully clarifying what it means to be a beta tester for PREreview and
guiding you on how to best contribute. Thank you for taking the time to
help us in our mission to make journal clubs worth any researchers'
time!%

In the past couple of months, we have been busy finalizing our preprint
journal club resources on~\href{https://prereview.org/}{PREreview}, and
spreading the word at various events across the world. You can read a
summary of our journey so far in
a~\href{https://elifesciences.org/labs/57d6b284/prereview-a-new-resource-for-the-collaborative-review-of-preprints}{blog
post}~on eLife Labs, and our thoughts on the future of peer review in
our ASAPbio~\href{http://asapbio.org/prereviewers}{commentary}.

We are currently in our beta testing phase and are still welcoming
participants. Below, you will find information about what it means to be
a beta tester and how to get started. If you have any questions, please
feel free to contact us
at~\href{mailto:contact@prereview.org}{\nolinkurl{contact@prereview.org}}.

\section*{What do we give you for being a PREreview beta
tester?}

{\label{988711}}

You will give you the equivalent of 70 US dollars to buy snacks for two
preprint journal clubs. Please note that this money will be in the form
of a reimbursement upon submission of the receipts and posting of the
preprint review on PREreview. You will also receive the equivalent of 20
US dollars as a personal thank you for hosting the journal clubs and
providing feedback to us. We thank Mozilla Science for awarding us with
the~\href{https://science.mozilla.org/blog/first-mini-grant-awards/}{Mozilla
Science Mini Grant} that allows us to reward your contribution.~

\section*{What do we ask of our beta
testers?}

{\label{719584}}

\begin{itemize}
\tightlist
\item
  We ask you to~present two preprint journal clubs~using our resources
  available on~\href{https://prereview.org/}{PREreview.org}~and write a
  preprint review on our platform for each (see below for more
  information).
\end{itemize}

\begin{itemize}
\tightlist
\item
  At the end of each journal club, we ask that~all your participants
  fill out a~\href{https://goo.gl/forms/NwW8asf1DyNvUKbm2}{short
  survey}~to give us feedback on their experience discussing and
  reviewing preprints in journal clubs.
\end{itemize}

\begin{itemize}
\tightlist
\item
  We also want to learn about the preprint authors' experience in having
  their preprint reviewed on PREreview. We have therefore created a
  survey, which we ask you to email to the preprint authors along with a
  link to your PREreview. We have created a template email that you can
  send to the corresponding author~(template \#4
  in~\href{https://prereview.org/users/164141/articles/205430-how-to-start-a-prereview-journal-club-tips-and-email-templates}{this}~document).
  We think this is a great way to expand your scientific network, but if
  you are uncomfortable sending the email, please let us know and we
  will send it instead.
\end{itemize}

\par\null

\begin{itemize}
\tightlist
\item
  If you are comfortable with social media,~Tweet at us
  \href{https://twitter.com/PREreview_}{@PREreview\_}~with the link to
  your review and the hashtag
  \href{https://twitter.com/search?q=\%23preprintjc\&src=typd}{\#preprintjc}.
  This will help others know about it! You might also consider using the
  hashtag \#ASAPbio to let the preprint community know about your
  contribution to preprint review.~
\end{itemize}

\par\null

\begin{itemize}
\tightlist
\item
  We also ask you to please read and respect our
  \href{https://prereview.org/users/8850/articles/198236-prereview-contributor-code-of-conduct}{contributor
  code of conduct}. We are committed to promote and maintain an healthy
  collaborative environment in which every opinion is valued.~
\end{itemize}

\begin{itemize}
\tightlist
\item
  Lastly, we want you to~have fun!! We have hosted several preprint
  journal clubs and have had great feedback both from participants and
  preprint authors. We hope you enjoy the experience and will continue
  doing preprint journal clubs after the beta testing phase.
\end{itemize}

\section*{How to write a review on
PREreview:}

{\label{506517}}

\begin{itemize}
\tightlist
\item
  \href{https://www.prereview.org/users/8850/articles/199648-getting-started-on-prereview-org-a-step-by-step-guide}{Sign
  up on PREreview}~and start a new document.
\end{itemize}

\begin{itemize}
\tightlist
\item
  Follow
  our~\href{https://www.prereview.org/users/164141/articles/200820-prereview-guidelines-how-to-write-a-peer-preprint-review}{PREreview
  guidelines}~to write the preprint review. Answering the first set of
  questions is a good start and a quicker way to give your feedback to
  the authors -- you can ask participants to answers these questions.
  The second part will guide you through writing a more complete and
  formal peer review. You don't have to do both. We have two examples of
  preprint reviews using the two set of guidelines
  (\href{https://prereview.org/users/164141/articles/200549-systems-jc-ohsu-prereview-of-cortical-representations-of-speech-in-a-multi-talker-auditory-scene}{full
  review},~\href{https://prereview.org/users/164141/articles/205892-systems-jc-ohsu-prereview-of-age-related-decline-in-behavioral-discrimination-of-amplitude-modulation-frequencies-compared-to-envelope-following-responses}{short
  review}).
\end{itemize}

Finally, if you would like to receive some cool~\textbf{PREreview
stickers}~to give out to journal club's participants, please send us
your preferred mail address.

Thanks again for your help. We are excited to have you as a
collaborator!

Happy pre-reviewing!
