This is a list of publishers of academic journals by their submission policies regarding the use of preprints prior to publication.
Publishers' policies on self-archiving can also be found at SHERPA/RoMEO.
Policies by publisher
Submission of preprints is accepted by all open access journals. Over the last decade, they have been joined by most subscription journals, however publisher policies are often vague or ill-defined.In general, most publishers that permit preprints require that:
- the authors disclose the existence of the preprint at submission
- once an article is published, the preprint should link to the published version
- the preprint should not have been formally peer reviewed
