This article investigated a novel method of disseminating conference proceedings via preprint servers. The EDICIC 2019 conference encouraged presenters to upload their research onto preprint servers before the conference and did not produce a conference proceedings. The objective of this was to facilitate pre-conference dissemination of the research and use the conference for debate. Authors could then submit their articles to a journal. A survey of participating authors shows that they had little familiarity with preprints prior to the conference. Nevertheless, nearly three-quarters of authors deposited their preprints before the conference. Most respondents were in favour or pre-conference deposit and believed it would allow conferences to run more smoothly. However there was concern that Library and Information Science journals will not accept submissions that have been issued as preprints. Authors also expressed concerns about the lack of recognition for their research if conference proceedings are not published. They highlighted the effort required to pass a double evaluation by conference organizers and then by journal editors, emphasized that the culture of preprints and open science is not consolidated in the discipline yet, and noted that the aim of increasing interaction and debate in the conference was not fully reached.

预印本作为会议记录的替代品：2019 年 EDICIC 伊比利亚会议的实践经验

本文研究了一种通过预印本服务器传播会议论文集的新方法。EDICIC 2019 会议鼓励演讲者在会议前将他们的研究上传到预印本服务器，并没有产生会议记录。这样做的目的是促进会前研究的传播，并利用会议进行辩论。然后，作者可以将他们的文章提交给期刊。对参与作者的调查显示，他们在会议之前对预印本不太熟悉。尽管如此，近四分之三的作者在会议前交存了他们的预印本。大多数受访者赞成或会前存款，并认为这将使会议更顺利地进行。然而，有人担心图书馆和信息科学期刊不会接受以预印本形式发布的提交。作者还表示担心，如果不发表会议论文集，他们的研究将得不到认可。他们强调了通过会议组织者和期刊编辑的双重评估所需的努力，强调预印本和开放科学的文化尚未在学科中得到巩固，并指出增加会议中的互动和辩论的目的是没有完全达到。
