I'd say the same, but I have yet to have the discussion with my current adviser about open access / bioarxiv journals.

I was wondering this morning about Science / Nature publications though. Most universities like to put out press releases / videos on paper publication, but without a clear date, it gets more wuzzy. Do you start promoting your researcher's work as soon as it's deposited on arxiv? After the reviewers okay it? Once the journal has formatted it and redone your figures in illustrator?

It's honestly a sort of stupid concern, but one of yet a number of ways in which scientists would have to adapt to and agree upon if this was truly the One True Way forward.
