What are preprints?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preprints are scientific manuscripts directly uploaded to a public server by the authors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The research findings and methods have not yet been accepted by a journal. After a brief quality check<\/a>, the article is posted online often within a day without peer review. Peer review of the preprint (integrated with publishing) can be invited after posting by the authors. Depending on the licence<\/a> chosen by the authors, posting a preprint allows immediate Open Access of the manuscript. Preprints enable authors to retain their rights and control of the timing to share their work with the research community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to post a preprint?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First inform all authors of preprint requirement from EMBL, and collect approval to post a preprint. Choose the appropriate preprint server<\/a> depending on scope, discipline and type of research article (primary research, review). Find out about the journal’s preprint policy with Sherpa Romeo<\/a> or Transpose<\/a>. Choose a licence<\/a>. Prepare and upload the manuscript according to the preprint server’s guidelines.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why are preprints important?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Posting a preprint allows authors to share their completed research as early possible without limitation to access an readership. This is tremendously important for the advancement of research. Beyond that, posting a preprint also confers many advantages to the authors, such as priority claim, increased attention and citation (36% increase in citation<\/a>), and receiving early engagement with the community (37% receive feedback by email<\/a>). This early proof of productivity can be used in job applications and internal reviews. If you have specific concerns, please consult with OSIM at OSIM@embl.org<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n
