WORK HISTORY
Co-founder, Executive Director @Prereview
Portland, OR, US
In 2017, we founded PREreview because we believe science and scholarship should be equitable, transparent, and collaborative.PREreview\'s mission is to bring more diversity and equity to scholarly peer review by supporting and empowering communities of researchers, particularly those at early stages of their career (ECRs) and historically underrepresented in scholarship, to review preprints in a process that is rewarding to them.PREreview gives systematically disadvantaged scientists better ways to find a voice, train, and engage in peer review. Our work is a direct response to the flawed way scientific research is evaluated. Behind closed doors, a handful of unpaid reviewers—selected opaquely and mainly through personal connections—use subjective criteria to decide the fate of a research article. This arcane process is slow and disadvantages researchers from historically underrepresented groups. Find out more about our mission and vision: https://content.prereview.org/mission. PREreview leadership team includes Drs. Samantha Hindle and Monica Granados. As of October 2018, we are proud to have become an official fiscally sponsored project by the non-profit organization Code for Science and Society. Our operations have been funded and supported through the years by a number of grant-making institutions including The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and The Wellcome Trust, foundations such as The Mozilla Foundation, and via partnerships with the non-profit publisher eLife.

ABOUT DANIELA SADERI
I am Co-Founder and Executive Director at PREreview, an organization that supports and empowers all researchers and experts—particularly those at early stages of their careers and those historically excluded—to participate in the open peer review of early research outputs in ways that center their needs and expectations.I hold a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Oregon Health & Science University (Portland, OR, USA) and a Master’s in Neuroscience from the University of Trieste, Italy. Through my role at PREreview and my time as a Mozilla Fellow for Science, I’ve gained experience in fundraising, community building, facilitation, organizational structure and culture, and program and product management.When I look at the world today, I see opportunities to harness collective intelligence in ways that were never possible before—and by that, I don’t mean AI. I mean the collective wisdom of people, built over generations. I believe in a future where the scholarly ecosystem is rooted in trust, care, and shared wisdom—where knowledge flows freely, not as a commodity to be owned, but as a shared inheritance to be nurtured and passed on. For that future to take shape, we must learn to listen, unlearn, and shape change together.
