Good news!
How long is Howard Hughes dead? Since 1976, but his legacy still keeps on giving!
Notice HHMI specifically mentions "substantially revised" manuscripts need to be released as preprint to. I also noticed that some researchers publish an early version as preprint, but then they do not update anymore and what gets later published in a journal is sometimes quite different from the earlier preprint version.
"The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) last week expanded its requirements for the investigators it funds to make research articles immediately free to read, part of its efforts to shake up journals’ hold on scientific communication.
HHMI already requires investigators to make their papers available open access when published; over half of their recently published work appeared first as a preprint.
The new policy goes even further, requiring investigators to publish their “major works”—defined as papers on which the investigator is a first, last, or corresponding author—as preprints when the manuscript is first completed and again after it is “substantially revised” in response to peer review or for other reasons. The policy is also triggered by such revisions after nontraditional forms of peer review, such as by reviewing services unaffiliated with a journal or public comments on a preprint server. ..."
