Open Access : Preprints

As stated by Taylor & Francis Author Services, "A preprint, also known as the Author's Original Manuscript (AOM), is the version of your article before you have submitted it to a journal for peer review."

When you’re thinking about sharing your research as a preprint, it’s natural to wonder if this can affect your chances of getting published in a journal. In the past, many journals were in fact hesitant to consider articles that had already been made public. However, as the popularity of preprints has grown, more and more journals are changing their policies.

Some journals now actively encourage authors to post their work as preprints, even providing their own platforms for doing so. This can have several benefits, such as increasing visibility and allowing for feedback from the scientific community even before the final publication.

However, it’s important to remember that not all journals have the same policies. Some may still be reluctant to consider preprints, while others may have specific guidelines or requirements. Therefore, before you decide to post your preprint, it’s essential to check the policies of the journal you’re aiming to publish in.
