PsyArXiv Blog<p><strong>When should I preprint my work?</strong></p><p>People often come up to me and say, “Dermot, do you have the money now?”* But other times they will come up to me and ask “Dermot, when should I preprint my work?” This is a great question, and the general answer is, “whenever it suits you best”.&nbsp; The important thing is that your work is out there, unpaywalled, and accessible to the world. So the specific timing might be more down to individual preferences, journal policies (like time-limited embargos), or some other factors.</p><p>But, by and large, there is nothing to stop you preprinting your own work, and at a time of your choosing.&nbsp; There may be exceptions, but they will represent a tiny minority of cases. <a href="https://osf.io/preprints/osf/m4zyh_v1" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Here’s</a> a nice introduction to preprinting – that covers motivations and advice for how to get started with preprinting your work.</p><p>So when and why do people decide to preprint? Let’s look briefly at different stages of the publication cycle and think why you might want to preprint your work at each point.</p><p><strong><em>At the draft stage?</em></strong></p><p>You can preprint your work before or after your first submission to a journal to get your fully-formed ideas out in the world as soon as possible, with a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_object_identifier" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">DOI</a>, and time-stamped confirmation! It provides opportunities for early feedback, increased exposure, and let’s you claim precedence for your ideas. </p><p><strong><em>After a round of reviews?</em></strong></p><p>When you’ve revised a paper, you can preprint what is likely to be an almost final version that you know has had peer feedback. So, it’s still being released well before it appears “in print”, but with the knowledge that you’ve had input from your peers.</p><p><strong><em>When it’s been accepted for publication?</em></strong></p><p>Although later in the publication process, preprinting at this point can still be months before a journal version appears online, so it’s still really worthwhile doing it. And preprinting at this stage perhaps gives authors added confidence, knowing it’s been formally accepted and having gone through a full peer-review process.</p><p><strong><em>Post-publication?</em></strong></p><p>Even if your paper has been published, you can still “Preprint” (or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postprint" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">postprint</a>) your non-formatted manuscript version. This has the advantage that your work will remain freely accessible through “<a href="https://nuim.libguides.com/openaccess/OpenAccess#:~:text=Green%20Open%20Access%2D%20(self%2D,those%20which%20allow%20self%2Darchiving." rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">green open access</a>”, even if the journal version is behind a paywall. An added bonus is that you don’t have to pay exorbitant fees to a publisher to make your work open access.</p><p>I think that more important than <em>when</em> you preprint, is that you <em>do</em> preprint, making your work open and accessible to all. If you’re looking for a place to preprint your work, there are lots of options from very general repositories like <a href="https://zenodo.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Zenodo</a> or <a href="https://osf.io/preprints" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">OSF Preprints</a>, discipline-specific ones like the <a href="https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">PsyArXiv</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ArXiV</a>, <a href="https://osf.io/preprints/bodoarxiv" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BodoArXiv</a>, or <a href="https://www.cabidigitallibrary.org/journal/agrirxiv" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">AgriArXiv</a> (see <a href="https://osf.io/preprints" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a> for lots more preprint communities), or even region-specific repositories like <a href="https://africarxiv.ubuntunet.net/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">AfricArXiv</a>. So, if you haven’t preprinted before, make this the year that you do!</p><p><em>Dermot Lynott is an Associate Professor at Maynooth University, and the current chair of the PsyArXiv Scientific Advisory Board.</em> </p><p>* I think I originally heard Dylan Moran make this joke, so thank you Dylan!</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.psyarxiv.com/tag/green-open-access/" target="_blank">#greenOpenAccess</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.psyarxiv.com/tag/open-access/" target="_blank">#openAccess</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.psyarxiv.com/tag/open-research/" target="_blank">#openResearch</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.psyarxiv.com/tag/open-science/" target="_blank">#openScience</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.psyarxiv.com/tag/preprint/" target="_blank">#preprint</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.psyarxiv.com/tag/publishing/" target="_blank">#publishing</a></p>
