*NISO Virtual Conference* *Wednesday, February 14, 11:00am - 5:00pm* The Preprint: Integrating the Form into the Scholarly Ecosystem <http://www.niso.org/events/2018/02/preprint-integrating-form-scholarly-ecosystem> According to Wikipedia, the preprint is a “version of a scholarly or scientific paper that precedes publication in a peer-reviewed scholarly or scientific journal”. Preprint archives, such as arXiv and SSRN, rapidly achieved prominence in both the hard and social sciences as rapid access to new work became a priority. It’s wonderful to have those platforms, but what are best practices for libraries and other content providers in working with them? Should preprints be assigned DOIs? What relationship should exist between pre-prints and discovery services? What is the interoperability with link resolvers like? What are the implications for citation practices? *Confirmed speakers include (among others):* *Gregg Gordon, *SSRN *Mark Seeley, *SciPubLaw *Neil Thakur, *NIH *John Inglis*, Cold Spring Harbor Press *Darla Henderson, *American Chemical Society (ACS) *Matthew Spitzer, *Center for Open Science To review the day's agenda, please visit the NISO event page <http://www.niso.org/events/2018/02/preprint-integrating-form-scholarly-ecosystem> .
