Journal policy
Preprint Policy
Posting a manuscript on a recognized non-commercial preprint server is permitted when disclosed.
Submission and disclosure
A preprint is not treated as prior journal publication. Authors must disclose the server, identifier, DOI and version at submission and update the preprint record after journal publication where the server permits.
Citing preprints
Preprints may be cited when relevant but must be identified as non-peer-reviewed. Authors should check whether a peer-reviewed version has become available.
Questions or concerns
Use the appropriate secure route when a matter requires a documented response.
