The initial review is conducted by a specialist in the published field. The initial review is based on adherence to the rules of scientific research without delving into the contents of the scientific paper. It is also evaluated by peers after publication, all of which is prior to publication in traditional peer-reviewed journals. A DOI is issued for each publication to preserve the intellectual property of the scientific papers, in order to prevent plagiarism.PrePrint knowledge levelLayoutThere is a need to educate colleagues and students about PrePrint and its importance. *Totally agreeOKneutralDisagreeTotally disagreeThe use of the preprint system increases communication between researchers of different academic degrees and research experiences. *Totally agreeOKneutralDisagreeTotally disagreeUsing a preprint system contributes to developing research skills among novice researchers. *Totally agreeOKneutralDisagreeTotally disagreeWhat do you think are the most important benefits of publishing in preprint repositories? *rapid spread of search resultsSave time and effort during formal peer review.Registering the researcher's intellectual property and citing the published paperPromoting open access to scientific knowledgeOther (please specify): __________If the answer is (other), write your answer below.PrePrint Publishing System ExperienceLayoutHave you ever published a research paper on PrePrint? *YesnoIf yes, please specify the platform you used. *arXivSSRNbioRxivOtherPreprints are an effective means of meeting the urgent need for timely dissemination of scientific information, especially in fields that require rapid publication responses. *Totally agreeOKneutralDisagreeTotally disagreeAn example of a rapid response to publication: What happened during the COVID-19 pandemic was the publication of scientific papers on vaccine development without sufficient time for clinical studies.
