Preprint vs. traditional paper submission. When I was pursuing my bachelor’s degree, I went to a research center, and the first thing I read there was, “Science that is not shared is not science.” Then, I had the opportunity to enter this fascinating world of thinkers, conquerors, and discoverers.
But how do we share science? There are two ways. One is peer-reviewed papers, where you report to the science community on your research. This way, the schedule is important. In my experience, one year of research is resumed in a manuscript that is submitted to the Journal, and their peers’ review can last from 1 to 8 months for a response. If this is favorable, the publishing date is scheduled, but if not, correction suggestions should be made before.
How about pre-print? This method is new for the community. Actually, my doctoral and postdoctoral advisors are not using it. That’s why I am here, looking on the internet for ideas. We can take advantage of this new method. For sure, sharing new discoveries is the idea of science communication, but the opportunity to have feedback is amazing. That is how knowledge is built.
Feel free to watch the video. Now, we need to discover an adequate server for submitting preprints (as well as peer-reviewed journal articles).
