What exactly is \u201cPreprint\u201d?<\/strong> A preprint article is a version of a manuscript that is published on an open-access preprint server.\u00a0 This kind of manuscript is published before any peer-review process.\u00a0 They are generally published electronically and can be located on publicly available databases or preprint servers.<\/p>\n One reason a group of researchers may choose to do a preprint submission is because of the length of submitting an article through the traditional publication process can take a while.\u00a0 Preprint allows for the dissemination of information at a faster pace.\u00a0 Generally, the authors will still seek to have their work published in a peer-reviewed journal at a later date.<\/p>\n Skipping over the peer-review process may seem unconventional but there are some benefits to preprint.\u00a0 Preprint allows you showcase to your colleagues where your interests lie, as well as establish early claims to your research findings.\u00a0 Preprints are the fastest way that a researcher can disseminate their knowledge and research and start scholarly conversations.\u00a0 Since most are located on an open access platform anyone can read them without paying which increases their accessibility and outreach.<\/p>\n It is important to keep in mind that while preprints may be scholarly, they have yet to be formally peer reviewed.\u00a0 While some preprint servers may have a simple peer review process to determine that the content is legitimate, they don\u2019t necessarily check on the reliability or accuracy of the information.\u00a0 It is still best to be cautious when reading a preprint paper and to use your best judgement.<\/p>\n Did you know that we have our own Seton Hall Google Custom search for preprints?!
