Version 3.8 of the Vivli platform has been released and is available to users. Highlights of the release for researchers include:

• Dedicated publication workflow: There is now a dedicated workflow for researchers to submit public disclosures for review.
• Enquiries: Researchers how have the ability to submit questions about studies via the platform as well as ask whether a study is available from a Vivli member if it doesn’t appear in the Vivli search.

“By adding a dedicated workflow for public disclosures, we hope to make it easier for researchers to share the outputs from the analysis,” said Julie Wood, Vivli COO. “These enhancements are all based upon feedback from our users. Platform developments are driven by the feedback we receive so we encourage researchers to reach out to us if they have questions.”
