Preprints

Preprints are (academic) manuscripts that have not (yet) been peer-reviewed or published by a publisher. Preprints can be shared on a preprint server or in a repository even before the manuscript is submitted to a journal.

Why should I share a preprint?
The publication process of scientific research usually takes at least several months, and sometimes even longer. By sharing the findings of your research in a preprint, you can immediately share results with other researchers. This promotes innovations within your field. Additionally, this allows you to receive feedback from the academic community that you can use to improve your work before submitting it to a publisher.

More information?
The linked guide contains practical information and a step-by-step roadmap for using preprints. The guide was prepared by the Netherlands Consortium of University Libraries and the Royal Library (UKB), the Association of Universities in the Netherlands (VSNU) and the Netherlands Research Council (NWO).
