A new paper published on arXiv analyzes dual-use research concerns (DURC) within open science infrastructure, specifically focusing on bioRxiv preprints. Researchers screened approximately 52,000 preprints from 2024-2025 using a combination of lexical filtering and large language models to identify knowledge related to DURC and other risk categories. The findings indicate that information adjacent to dual-use concerns is frequently present in publicly accessible titles and abstracts, even in studies with legitimate public health goals. The paper advocates for evolving institutional review processes, funding requirements, and preprint platform policies to include proactive metadata monitoring while maintaining scientific transparency.
