So now we have "Many Coauthors Study" to determine which of Gino's papers were based on data she collected.

@cyrilpedia @anneurai @biorxivpreprint that's tougher to do automatically since not coded as such in citations. but we do have a Follow feature as @steveroyle says. This allows you to see when a preprint is published in a journal, updated, commented on, etc.

We have impact stories about how #OpenAccess #OpenScience #OpenData & #OER are helping bridge the digital divide, advance scientific discovery, streamline research & increase college success. See examples from Colombia to South Africa on our website here: https://sparcopen.org/impact-stories/
