Get Preprint MS#4636 - Dr. Harold C. Connolly, Jr., Geologist

While most journals accept preprint submissions, some may not. We recommend checking all journals you will potentially submit to. A list of journal policies can be found in the Sherpa Romeo database. The best practice is to contact the journal directly if you have any concerns about their policy.

Preprints are not generally considered as publications. Most journals will accept articles that have been shared as preprints; however, some journals will not. We recommend you check the journal’s policies on this matter prior to submitting an article that you have previously shared as a preprint.

A way for researchers to get results out quickly. Preprints are most useful for researchers. Researchers can share their results by publishing their initial drafts and receive feedback on their findings from other researchers across the world.

Disadvantages: Not peer reviewed (submission only undergoes minimal checking e.g. grammar) Not all formats are accepted (e.g. editorials, book reviews) Some journals (not all) do not accept articles previously posted as a preprint.

There are different types of preprints: Pre-review manuscripts: papers that have yet to be peer reviewed. Accepted manuscripts: papers that have been peer reviewed and accepted by a journal, but not yet typeset and published by the journal.

Many, but not all, publishers allow preprint posting for manuscripts submitted to their journals for publication. Some publishers such as BMJ and Springer Nature encourage preprinting. eLife requires it.
