Abstract:
Currently, the possibility and interest in publishing in the preprint format are increasing, with more or less incidence in practically all scientific areas.Under these circumstances, the aim of this perspective opinion paper is to contribute to the discussion of the possible interest in publishing preprint.In order to meet this task of discussing preprint challenges and perspectives, we will analyse preprint, its potential advantages and limitations in comparison with other types of academic publications, looking at the future of preprint publication at two levels: in terms of communication and dissemination of science; and in terms of benefits for the academic career of the author of preprint publications.Keywords:
Preprint
The ArXiv preprint archive for research articles in physics, mathematics, computer science and related disciplines was initiated by Paul Ginsparg in 1991. ArXiv enables the rapid dissemination of research articles prior to peer review, and it quickly became very successful in this.

Preprint is work papers shared before peer review. A preprint contains full or partial draft of a work papers that are shared publicly before it have been peer reviewed. I see that preprint have been increasingly popular option for authors. The biggest benefits fall into four areas: showcase, credit, feedback, and visibility.

This toolkit aims to help individual reviewers who read a preprint, and are motivated to give feedback to the authors, to be able to quickly and easily post their peer review report.

Preprint servers can enhance the access to scientific knowledge by linking indexed papers in bibliography databases to their counterpart preprint versions whenever available. The current state of connection is to link preprints to their published versions in peer-reviewed journals. Here, I suggest the opposite. That is, linking indexed journal papers to their preprint versions wherever these are posted on a preprint server. Such linking from paid version (journals' articles) to their corresponding free preprint versions would make much sense as it removes the barrier to get access to pay walled papers for free.

This preprint has been withdrawn. It is because I will never publish this preprint since everything has been contained in my new preprint: arXiv:0907.1506. Please refer to arXiv:0907.1506. Please do not cite this preprint any more.

Abstract Paper preprints are in decline in astronomy, while the use of electronic preprints is on the rise, mainly via the LANL astroph preprint archive. I discuss the decline of the paper preprint, some preprint servers available on the Web and some general electronic preprint issues, the astropharchive and its response to these issues, and alternatives for the future of electronic preprints.

This proposal is intended to develop@@ a free digital preprint service for physical sciences to enable scientists/physicists publishing their preprint articles prior to submitting for formal publication in scientific journals, or perhaps they only want to see if their idea(s) received proper response prior to submitting it to journal editors.

ABSTRACT Although there was an early experiment in the 1960s with the central distribution of paper preprints in the biomedical sciences, these sciences have not been early adopters of electronic preprint servers. Some barriers to the development of a ‘preprint culture’ in the biomedical sciences are described. Multiple factors that, from the 1960s, fostered the transition from a paper‐based preprint culture in high energy physics to an electronic one are also described. A new revolution in scientific publishing, in which journals come to be regarded as an overlay on electronic preprint databases, will probably overtake some areas of research much more quickly than others.
