 but we're gonna be moving on to preprints. Preprints are pre-publications. The idea with preprints is that if you say aren't able to get your work published in a peer review journal, or you wanna get your work out quickly, preprints are an excellent way of doing that. Make sure that you're checking with your peer review journal that you're targeting, make sure that they allow for preprints, but a fair amount of them do, most of them do actually. So in order to do that, I'm going to go to home and I'm going to do this dropdown button. And we can take a look at what preprints look like. Now, again, preprints are submitting a manuscript version of your project. In order to submit a preprint, I have a couple of different options. First thing I'm gonna do is I can either submit here with the screen buttons, submit a preprint pretty obviously, or I can go up here at that top button of add a preprint. Take you to the same link. Now this will give you kind of a similar process as you would see with a registration where it'll give you a series of options in order to submit. Here we have services. On the OSF, we have a ton of different partners that we work with that are all discipline specific. So say you are a African researcher and you want to submit your work to a preprint service for African researchers, please use African archive, but do check out some of these different services as they kind of clientele what audiences you're looking for. For files, you wanna make sure you are saving and continuing. Upload a file from your computer. In this case, I would just upload the COVID-19 documents. Author assertions. Again, it doesn't like it if you don't actually fill out the full form, which is unfortunate. Author assertions. Come on now. You're just gonna make me do this. Regardless, save and continue. Let me continue onward. Author assertions. So do I have public data available? This is your ability to connect to an external source where you're storing your data. Again, creating those highways are highly important. Do you have a preregistration? Did you preregister on the OSF and you wanna connect that to your preprint? This is how you're gonna do it. Take that link, make sure that you're posting into here and what that plan is. Your basics, you wanna make sure that you label who the copyright holder is or who will be contacted if someone has questions about the copyright. Did you already submit a peer-reviewed version of this? Is it already published? That's the case. What you can do is you can take that DOI that was created and link it here. That gives the opportunity for anybody that finds your preprint to find the peer-reviewed publication version. Adding keywords are a great way of making sure people find you in searches, adding an abstract, help them figure out what you're doing. Disciplines, again, those are those filters that people are searching through when we were talking about in the beginning. Authors, making sure that you are putting all the authors that are associated with your preprint on this service. Conflict of interest, any supplementary materials, again, connecting an OSF project is a great way of doing that for your preprints. Now, this, because I'm submitting African archives, they have different moderated services. Premoderation means that you will submit, it will be private, moderators will review it and then they will release it when it becomes public. Post-moderation means that it will immediately become public and then moderators will look at it and decide whether they want to keep it on their service. And all I would do from there is click the screen button down at the bottom that says submit preprint.
