32 Launched August 2017 The Preprint Server for Chemistry
- Partnership between ACS, RSC and German Chemical Society
What is a preprint? A preprint is a freely accessible preliminary communica on that contains new research findings and data not yet published in a peer-reviewed outlet, such as a journal.
A dra or final version may be submi ed, so long as the preprint’s content is not yet published at submission and all the authors consent to the pos ng. h ps://chemrxiv.org/
Launched August 2017
The Preprint Server for Chemistry
- Preprints posted on ChemRxiv are not peer-reviewed, edited, or typeset. All preprints are subject to a basic screening following submission for plagiarism, offensive, dangerous, and/or non-scien fic content. - It is a global service h ps://chemrxiv.org/ Launched August 2017
The Preprint Server for Chemistry
- ChemRxiv is a preprint server intended for the pos ng of technical, scien fic informa on spanning the chemical and related sciences. - News, adver sements, policy statements are not appropriate for pos ng and will be declined. - Findings clearly falling into the physics, math, or life science fields with no connec ons to the chemical sciences should be submi ed to similar resources, such as arXiv or bioRxiv..
Launched August 2017
The Preprint Server for Chemistry
• Today, the majority of journals in the chemistry space allow authors to first post preprints. • You can find this informa on in the journals’ policies, most o en prior publica on or preprint policies, or by reaching out to the journal editor. • It is the authors’ responsibility to check with the journal Editor and ensure that submission to ChemRxiv will not interfere with the journals’ prior publica on policies Launched August 2017
The Preprint Server for Chemistry
- Preprints on ChemRxiv are free for authors to post and free to readers. - English is the only language accepted at this me. - ChemRxiv is not a journal, it is a preprint service. As a result, ChemRxiv, like other preprint servers such as arXiv and bioRxiv, does not have an impact factor. Launched August 2017
The Preprint Server for Chemistry
- ChemRxiv does allow metadata mining and allows all associated files to be downloaded.
- The terms applicable to the mining of preprints are determined by the authors’ selec on of a Crea ve Commons license – including CC-BY-NC-ND, CC-BY-NC, and CC-BY.. h ps://chemrxiv.org/
Launched August 2017
The Preprint Server for Chemistry
The preprint on ChemRxiv be linked to a related journal ar cle once published
ChemRxiv plans to add a link to the preprint within a few weeks of journal publica on. The ming depends on when the journal posts its’ files to CrossRef, allowing ChemRxiv to check and make matches between preprints and published ar cles. Launched August 2017 The Preprint Server for Chemistry
Benefits:
- A chemistry preprint server enables researchers working across diverse areas of inquiry to share early results and data with their scien st colleagues before formal peer review and publica on, - to elicit informal feedback from other scien sts to help in shaping their work, - to allow authors to advance the pace of scien fic discovery and dissemina on Outreach Programs
