Are you editing a Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) open access journal and would like to learn more about current journal policies and practices of evaluating unreviewed and peer-reviewed manuscripts that are already available on preprint servers or in open repositories?
The Best Practices SIG is happy to invite you to a webinar about Preprints in Social Sciences and Humanities OA journals.
Preprints are scientific manuscripts publicly shared on preprint platforms before submission to a journal. An increasing number of journals accept preprints. Early and open sharing is part of transparent research practices and helps improve research reproducibility.
