Summary: <a href="http://narock.github.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tom Narock</a> and <a href="https://www.imperial.ac.uk/people/c.jackson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chris Jackson</a> tell Mike about the new <a href="https://osf.io/preprints/eartharxiv" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EarthArXiv</a> preprint server. The show is a bit of an oddball for Forecast, considering that the show’s usual diet is long-format interviews about a scientist’s life and research. But the launch of EarthArXiv — one of a growing series of preprint servers — could be the spark to light the climate science community’s interest in the use of preprints, long a fixture of fields like physics and mathematics. For a discussion of EarthArXiv within the broader publishing landscape I encourage you to check out Victor Venema’s excellent blog post over at <a href="http://variable-variability.blogspot.com/2017/10/earth-sciences-pre-print-manuscript-server.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Variable Variability</a>.<br> <br> Music: Hallon by <a href="http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Christian_Bjoerklund/">Christian Bjoerklund </a>CC BY-NC-SA 3.0.<br> <br> <a href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=http%3A%2F%2Fforecastpod.org%2Findex.php%2F2017%2F11%2F01%2Fthe-launch-of-eartharxiv%2F&via=MWClimateSci" class="twitter-share-button">Tweet</a><br>
