Report/ Dr. Ayoub Al-Mahab
In light of the rapid technological progress and the increasing demand for instant scientific knowledge, it appears PrePrint As a vital tool to accelerate the exchange of information between researchers in the fields of Agriculture, Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS)This approach allows scientists to publish their results before undergoing the traditional peer review process, contributing to enhanced transparency and increased scientific collaboration.
According to the report prepared by Dr. Ayoub Ahmed Al-MahabAn advisor to the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries in Yemen points out that the initial publishing platforms provide unique opportunities For researchers to quickly share their ideas and receive feedback from the academic community, helping to improve the quality of research and accelerate the process of scientific discovery.
Despite the great benefits, there are challenges facing this type of publishing, such as concerns about Quality control, intellectual property concerns, and peer-reviewed journal acceptance of previously published research.
As interest in open science grows, pre-print publishing is expected to play a greater role in supporting agricultural disciplines, through platforms such as AgriXiv, bioRxiv, and arXiv, which contributes to accelerating scientific discoveries and enhancing cooperation among researchers on a global scale.
