Re: [dinosaur] New preprint: sauropods have spinal-cord supports like salamanders

If anyone wants to learn more about paleorXiv, we have submission
guidelines here: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__paleorxiv.github.io_submission-5Fguidelines.html&d=DwIBaQ&c=clK7kQUTWtAVEOVIgvi0NU5BOUHhpN0H8p7CSfnc_gI&r=Ry_mO4IFaUmGof_Yl9MyZgecRCKHn5g4z1CYJgFW9SI&m=V57JBN9pDPlHAhywKOvHodgeMTTHKohicxcEtqzI020&s=w23HpKBpobi_M6gV535bHZ-w_eQNNoEcm47Y5iXii6o&e= 

and a pretty comprehensive database of journal policies for sharing
preprints (pre-peer review) and postprints (post-peer review) here:
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__paleorxiv.github.io_journal-5Fpolicies.html&d=DwIBaQ&c=clK7kQUTWtAVEOVIgvi0NU5BOUHhpN0H8p7CSfnc_gI&r=Ry_mO4IFaUmGof_Yl9MyZgecRCKHn5g4z1CYJgFW9SI&m=V57JBN9pDPlHAhywKOvHodgeMTTHKohicxcEtqzI020&s=KUduTk28Db2KHXSgMTsJQShRVzGaVXihfpQZC7JgWsk&e= 

We make it pretty easy for any palaeontologist to make virtually all of
their research articles, data, software etc. freely accessible at zero-cost
to the authors. Including past projects too. Enjoy!

Cheers,

Jon
