Hi! I started a new thread as I wondering what is the stance of this journal for pre-prints (say ResearchGate, Psyarxiv or personal site)? Thank you very much!
Stay safe and well!

Hi Raj,
We have no issues with preprints. Additionally, the published version is not copyrighted, so one can upload it anywhere one wants (author retains whatever rights they had, obviously, by submitting here they grant OpenPsych a right to publish the work also).
Hello! It's great that you've started a new thread to inquire about the stance of the journal regarding pre-prints. Many journals have varying policies when it comes to pre-print submissions from platforms like ResearchGate, PsyArXiv, or personal websites. To get accurate information about the specific journal's stance, it's best to directly consult the journal's website or contact their editorial office.
In recent years, pre-prints have become more widely accepted in the academic community as a way to share research findings before formal peer review. However, each journal may have its own guidelines and requirements for submitting pre-prints, and they might consider different platforms differently. Make sure to review the journal's author guidelines or reach out to their editorial team for information on whether they encourage or discourage pre-print submissions from certain platforms.
Thank you for your well wishes, and stay safe and well too.
