BioHackrXiv: Hacking for better PDFs
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: BioHackrXiv continues to host project reports from biohackathon events (Prins et al., 2022).It has published more than 150 preprints and are indexed by Europe PMC and notable preprintsare indexed by Wikidata too. It has supported multiple biohackathons, including the DBCLSBioHackathon and BioHackathon Europe series (Garcia et al., 2020). A full overview ofsupported meetings is available from the index.biohackrxiv.org website. The original Markdownsetup with metadata in YAML headers (Perk et al., 2024) has been extended since 2020 withsupport for citation intent annotations with the Citation Typing Ontology (Willighagen et al.,2023), making ORCID identifiers for authors and ROR identifiers for research organizationsvisible in the PDFs (Willighagen & Ohta, 2025), and support for the Contributor Role Taxonomy(CRediT) annotation of author roles (McNutt et al., 2018). These things have been developedwith the help of the same communities BioHackrXiv supports.
