EOS article
I'm wondering about other ways to reach scientists. What do you all think of collectively authoring an article for EOS as a Project Update (1500 words) or an Opinion (1500 words)? (EOS submission guidelines are attached). I guess I envision an article could cover the benefits of preprinting, the growth of the server (with a figure), some details on submissions (where articles eventually get published, how many are published, etc.), and any other ideas we can muster. I imagine that, if accepted, it would be seen by people who perhaps have never heard of us and maybe inspire them to submit articles. (and if it doesn't get accepted, it can live as a preprint). Maybe it is too early to write such an article, but i wanted to float the idea to everyone.
Another venue is GSA today (the groundwork section). I also acknowledge that both of these are US organizations, it would obviously be great to identify other such places we can write for that are beyond the US.

There are still a lot of comments in the google doc. Was a version of this article submitted?

Not yet. We're doing some final editing trying to incorporate all the comments. Hope to submit early next week

Hi everyone. we have a draft of an article to send to EOS (see attached google doc link). feel free to edit, add comments, add your name to author list, but be mindful of the EOS submission guidelines, which state that "Authorship is limited to those who actually write the manuscript and should not include those whose role was solely that as a participant in the project, program, or research."..... We are aiming for submission soon, so please make any changes by next Wednesday Nov. 7th, and please be mindful that the article has a tight word limit.
