Preliminary
feedback helps authors improve
manuscripts. Collegial discussion
can lead to new ideas, follow-up
studies, or collaborations with
other research groups. Plus, you can
cite your preprint in your letters
of inquiry |
PrePrints
enable you to showcase your latest
work for grant, hiring, or tenure
committees. A link to a publicly
posted PrePrint is more illustrative
and compelling than a title on a CV
with the annotation “in development”
or “under review.” |
It’s common
for researchers to achieve a similar
advance at around the same time but
the publication process can
artificially delay one paper or
favor another. Posting PrePrints
allows researchers to publicly date
stamp their discoveries. |

Rapid Dissemination
of Your Results |
Increased Attention
(and Citations!) |
Unlimited and
Timely Updates |
|
PrePrints
allow you to share your results when
you’re ready — whether you’re
researching an emergent disaster,
applying for a grant, or just
excited to broadcast your work to a
wider audience. |
The sooner
research becomes available, the
sooner it can begin to receive views
and citations. In this case, common
sense is backed up by evidence.
Research shows that public posting
increases the number of times papers
are viewed and cited. |
From the
moment a preprint appears online to
the day that the article is
published in a peer reviewed
journal, you can make as many
updates as you want or need. Each
version is numbered and incorporated
into the PrePrint record. |
