Authors must disclose the preprint DOI in the cover letter at submission. The preprint deposit does not prevent publication.
2. During Review
Authors may update their preprint with revised versions during the review process but should not publicly share confidential reviewer feedback.
3. After Acceptance
Upon acceptance, authors should update the preprint record to link to the published version of record using the journal article DOI.
4. Citing Preprints
Preprints cited in manuscripts must be clearly marked as preprints (not peer-reviewed). Authors are responsible for checking whether cited preprints have been subsequently published or retracted.
