Preprint Archive
| Journal / Conference Publication | Preprint |
|---|---|
| Researchers have to wait for months or even years for their work to be accepted for publication | Researchers can start building an audience for their work as soon as they finish it |
| A submitted manuscript receives feedback only from two or three peer reviewers before publication | Feedback from the wider research community |
| A manuscript cannot get citation until it is published in journal / conference proceedings | It can increase chances of getting citations by 40% |
PREPRINT is a full draft research paper that is shared publicly before it is peer reviewed. PREPRINTs are given a digital object identifier (DOI) so they can be cited in other research papers. PREPRINTs achieve many of the goals of journal publishing, but within a much shorter time frame. The biggest benefits fall into three areas: credit, feedback, and visibility. It allows your work to become a permanent part of the scholarly record – one that can be referenced in any dispute over who discovered something first. In the traditional system, a submitted manuscript receives feedback only from two or three peer reviewers before publication. With a PREPRINT, other researchers can discover your work sooner, potentially pointing out critical flaws or errors, suggest new studies or data that strengthen your argument or even recommend a collaboration that could lead to publication in a prestigious journal. PREPRINTs are not the final form of a research paper for most authors.
Our PREPRINT service includes Similarity Check reports of articles / manuscripts from iThenticate, the most trusted plagiarism checker (trusted by the world’s top researchers, publishers and scholars), along with Crossref DOI registration of the same before archiving as PREPRINT. The iThenticate reports are being made available to the authors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Publication of manuscripts in a peer-reviewed journal often takes weeks, months or even years from the time of initial submission, owing to the time required by editors and reviewers to evaluate and critique manuscripts, and the time required by authors to address critiques.
The need to quickly circulate current results within a scholarly community has led researchers to distribute documents known as preprints, which are manuscripts that have yet to undergo peer review. The immediate distribution of preprints allows authors to receive early feedback from their peers, which may be helpful in revising and preparing articles for final submission.
The preprint is also used to receive the immediate credibility of author’s ownership on the document/ manuscript with unique idea or research work alongwith the date of preprint submission & publication, which protects the interest of the author against phishing.
