For science to positively impact the world, it must be shared. It must be circulated among scientists and communicated with the public. Over the past decade, the free online platforms bioRxiv and medRxiv, developed at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL), have revolutionized how biomedical research is shared around the world. Accelerating their success now becomes the mission of openRxiv, a newly launched, community-oriented, independent nonprofit. bioRxiv was founded in 2013, and medRxiv in 2019.
