58. “A preprint is a version of a scientific manuscript
posted on a public server prior to formal peer
review. As soon as it’s posted, your preprint
becomes a permanent part of the scientific
record, citable with its own unique DOI”

59. Examples of Preprint Servers

64. Can article posted as preprint can be submitted to a peer
reviewed Journals?
• Yes!
the same work posted as preprint can also be submitted for
peer reviewed journal.

65. This journal has shown interest in our article
and it is under review for potential publication
This happened just because we had posted our
article in medRxiv
Benefits We Got for Our Paper after Posted in medRxiv preprint server

68. Preprints are also not without Contraversy during this Pandemic

69. 69
The preprint surge in this time of health
crisis is altering the main spike of
scholarly communications and bringing
open peer review system to the main
stream as well as making scholarly
contents to be more open and available
for all without any restrictions

76. ◎ Publish/Deposit your research in open platforms such as
preprints/open access peer reviewed journals
◎ Share your research data through open data repository
platforms (e.g., figshare, Zenodo, dataverse, GitHub, etc.)
◎ Have your own ORCID and Other researcher ID (Google
Scholar Profile, Scopus Author ID, WoS Research ID)
◎ Encourage and Support to have Institutional Research Data
Management Systems/Policies in your institutions
◎ Share your research in Social Media Platforms
(Blogs/Twitter/FB)
◎ Encourage Open Data Policies at local/state /country level
