Post your manuscript the moment it is ready. It is screened by a moderator, goes live open-access with its own DOI, and stays permanently on the record while peer review takes its own time.
One platform carries your work from first posting to peer-reviewed publication — no other preprint server can close that loop.
Move your preprint into a conference or journal on this platform without re-entering a thing — and when it is published, the two records link automatically.
Every screened preprint receives a Crossref-registered DOI and a permanent article page — citable from day one.
Post revised versions with change notes. The page always serves the newest file; every earlier version stays downloadable and citable.
Views, downloads and citation counts on your article page — evidence of reach you can point to.
Withdrawal leaves a formal dated notice, never a dead link. Your bibliographic record and DOI stay resolvable permanently.
OAI-PMH metadata for harvesters, correctly-labelled BibTeX/RIS exports, RSS feeds — your work travels beyond this site.
Engineering, computing and technology preprints - screened, DOI-registered, open access.
Format your manuscript — our template has every required section ready.
Sign in, pick a collection, upload your files, and confirm the posting declarations.
A moderator checks scope, completeness and integrity — typically within 48 working hours. This is not peer review.
Your preprint goes public with its DOI. If the collection has a posting fee, it goes live the moment payment clears.
Platform members review your preprint under their real names. You control it from your author account — approve each review, reply publicly, or turn reviews off.
One charge, once, after your preprint passes screening — never before, and it never influences the screening outcome. It buys two things: the full publishing infrastructure your preprint sits on, and the review layer on top of it.
Each collection sets its own posting fee and many are free; the exact amount is shown before you submit. Nothing else is charged — no fee for extra versions, no fee for reviews, no fee to read.
*Only if not yet peer-reviewed and without an existing DOI.
A posted preprint is part of the scholarly record and cannot be completely removed. Withdrawal is exceptional and considered only for:
A withdrawn preprint keeps a public, dated notice stating the ground. Complete removal happens only for legal reasons (court order, copyright, privacy, public safety).
You keep copyright and choose the license at submission — CC BY 4.0 recommended. By posting you affirm you have the right to post, grant this platform a perpetual non-exclusive license to distribute the work, and understand the permanence rules above.
Planning a patent? Posting counts as public disclosure — file first. Some journals decline manuscripts already posted; check your target journal's policy (Sherpa Romeo lists them).
Tell us from your author page — one form field. The preprint page then points every reader to the version of record, and the link travels into the DOI metadata. Papers peer-reviewed on this platform link up automatically.
A data-availability statement is part of every submission. Deposit data in a recognised repository where possible and link it — work whose claims can be checked earns more trust, and more citations.
No. Screening checks scope, completeness and integrity — it does not evaluate the science the way peer review does. Every preprint page says so prominently. What you do get is community review: signed, public assessments written by platform members. That is transparent expert opinion, openly attributed — not a journal's editorial decision, and it does not replace one.
Any signed-in platform member can write one, always under their real name, affiliation and ORCID, with a competing-interests declaration published alongside. You are in control from your author account: reviews are held for your approval by default, or you can publish them immediately, or turn reviews off. You can reply publicly to any review, and you can withdraw one — a dated notice with your reason stays in its place, because a record that can be silently edited is worth nothing to a reader.
Because a reader has to be able to weigh what is said. An anonymous comment box attracts spam and drive-by attacks, and gives a reader no way to judge who is speaking or what their stake is. Requiring a named member account keeps reviews accountable to write, while everything stays open to read — you do not need an account to read a single word.
Yes — by its DOI. Citation exports (BibTeX, RIS, and formatted styles) are provided on each article page, correctly labelled as a preprint.
No — that is the deal with a DOI. See the withdrawal rules above: exceptional withdrawal leaves a dated public notice; the record itself stays.
Most journals welcome preprints; a few do not. Check the journal's policy before posting. Posting establishes priority — the timestamped, DOI-registered proof that you reported the result first.
Each collection sets its own posting fee — many are free. Where a fee exists it is shown before you submit, is charged only after screening approval, and never influences the screening outcome. It is a single charge covering both the publication infrastructure (DOI, permanent hosting, versioning, metadata and citation exports) and the community review layer — see "What the posting fee covers" above. Extra versions, reviews, and reading are never charged for.
No need — request a minor correction from your author page. The file is replaced in place without a new version number.
