Submitting Your Pre-print to Our Server: Author Guidelines
Welcome to our independent preprint hosting platform. We provide a streamlined, permanent open-access repository for researchers, scholars, and investigative writers to share early-stage academic manuscripts, technical reports, and working papers prior to formal peer-reviewed journal publication.
Our platform is engineered for long-term stability and independent preservation. We maintain a persistent, uninterrupted infrastructure designed to keep your scholarly work accessible, citable, and discoverable over the long term.
Key Submission Policies & Benefits
- Zero Fees: There are no submission charges, processing fees, or open-access publishing costs of any kind. We believe that open scholarly communication should be entirely barrier-free for both authors and readers.
- Rapid Posting: Manuscripts undergo a preliminary editorial screening for topical relevance, structural integrity, and scholarly appropriateness, but are not subjected to traditional peer review prior to posting. This ensures your findings are shared with the scientific community quickly.
- Non-Exclusive Licensing: Authors retain full copyright of their work. Posting a preprint on our server does not restrict you from submitting the finalized manuscript to traditional peer-reviewed journals later. (Note: We advise checking individual journal policies regarding preprints prior to journal submission).
- Permanent Archiving & Citability: Once posted, every manuscript is assigned a permanent identifier and metadata record to ensure reliable citation and long-term web indexing.
Step-by-Step Submission Process
To have your work listed on our platform, please review our standard intake workflow:
- Format Your Manuscript: Prepare your document in a standard clean format. Ensure that author affiliations, contact information, and an abstract are clearly stated at the top of the document.
- Compile Metadata: Be prepared to provide the title, an abstract (maximum 250 words), 3 to 6 targeted keywords or subject tags, and full author metadata (names, ORCID iDs if applicable, and institutional affiliations).
- Submit via Editorial Channel: Send your submission package or manuscript inquiries directly to our editorial team for review.
- Editorial Screening: Our team conducts a basic administrative and structural review to verify that the submission adheres to standard research ethics and formatting guidelines. Approved manuscripts typically appear online within 48 to 72 hours of verification.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I update my preprint after it is published?
Yes. We support version control. If you have revised your analysis or expanded your dataset, you can submit a revised version. Previous versions remain archived and transparently linked to the updated record.
- Does posting here constitute formal publication?
No. Preprints are working papers meant to establish precedence and gather early feedback from the research community. They are distinct from peer-reviewed journal articles.
For direct submissions, inquiries regarding specific subject categories, or technical support, please contact our editorial desk. We look forward to hosting and preserving your research.
