| ABOUT PREPRINTS |
Preprints are drafts of a research paper before peer review and post-prints are drafts of a research paper after peer review. Researchers have always given away their preprints and post-prints in order to increase the impact of their work. The online age has, at last, made it possible for researchers to maximize their work's visibility, usage, and impact by self-archiving their preprints and post-prints in institutional or Publisher Archives, making them openly accessible to all would-be users worldwide. |
