Preprint publishing particularities and possible ways to resolve disputes
Abstract
The article is devoted to preprints, their role in the modern scientific communication, and an observation of specialized preprint servers and international initiatives promoting preprinting among scientists and editors. Publishing of preprints speeds up scientific communication and provides access to information that would otherwise be lost to the scientific community. Preprinting benefits their authors by allowing them to receive feedback from colleagues as soon as possible and improves the manuscript before submitting it to a peer-reviewed journal.
