Academic colleagues： Starting from now on, our official account will regularly or irregularly release questions and answers related to preprint knowledge. The preprint platform provides simple answers to some basic questions that everyone is concerned about, in order to promote the understanding of relevant issues in the academic community, clarify misunderstandings, and promote the construction of the preprint platform and the academic exchange of new types of preprint. Preprint Platform Construction Project Team for National Science Library, Chinese Academy of Sciences 2023 4.Why does the author need a preprint? Scientific research achievements need to be exchanged in order to achieve widespread sharing, social evaluation, and academic innovation of scientific research achievements. Compared to academic conferences, preprints have the advantages of fast communication speed, minimal restrictions, and no page fee (or APC) for authors. They are conducive to obtaining online publishing rights, establishing academic status and influence, and have become a new choice for more and more authors to submit. According to the preprint policy, there is no conflict between authors submitting papers to the preprint platform and submitting papers to academic journals, and they do not constitute duplicate publications.(Chujingli) 5.Why do research users need preprints? Researchers have the dual responsibility of undertaking scientific research and publishing results, as well as the dual roles of research users and authors. Obtaining the latest research progress is the first step in scientific research. In terms of information sources, in addition to traditional books, journals, conference literature, dissertations, research reports, patents, standards, etc., the rise of academic exchanges in preprint books in recent years has made the preprint literacy of scientific research users increasingly important. Only by fully and effectively utilizing various information can we support scientific research and the publication of achievements (papers).(Chujingli)
