A preprint is the submitted version of a journal article, before peer review.
If the journal you have submitted to allows it, you can upload the preprint to a server such as arXiv, PsyArXiv, SocArXiv, bioRxiv, or Knowledge Commons.
This allows you to disseminate your findings earlier, cite the article in grant applications and receive feedback on your work.
More information can be found on our Scholarly Publishing page.
