What are preprints? If you upload to a preprint service, this does not guarantee acceptance for publication, right? It’s just made available to be read by anyone interested, correct?

Abstract

The presentation provides an introduction to preprints as a stage in academic publishing. This presentation serves as the basis for a video from the Academic Writing Q&A series that was created as a supplement to the My First Scientific Article webinar. The presentation explains what a preprint is and how it differs from a peer-reviewed postprint. The content is useful for Early Career Researchers and for everyone who is interested in scholarly communication and publishing.
