Preprints in Social Sciences and Humanities OA journals

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.

Join this webinar with Valentin Cojanu (Editor-in-chief of The Journal of Philosophical Economics, Bucharest University of Economic Studies (Romania), Thomas Guillemaud (co-founder and co-manager of Peer Community In (PCI, France) and François-Claude Rey (Editorial Board member and Editor of Data & Corpus journal) and discuss

  • Experiences with receiving and publishing manuscripts originally made available as preprints;

  • Addressing similarity checker issues during manuscript screening;

  • Modifying double-blind peer review workflow when reviewing preprints;

  • How to use reports from preprint review services in the journal’s decision-making process;

  • Recommendations to SSH OA journals who would like to develop their preprint policy and instructions to authors.
