What should I consider before preprinting?

Before preprinting, we suggest completing the following steps:

• Double check journal policies on when and where preprints may be posted. 
• Choose a preprint server. Consider visibility, funder recommendations, and features like preservation and indexing, which are cataloged in the Preprint Server Directory.
• Choose a license.
• Get all authors on board with preprinting. Refer to the resources in the Preprint Info Center (including these FAQ) to address any unanswered questions. 
• Upload any code/data/reagents you want to share to appropriate repositories.
• Post the preprint!
• Invite feedback via social media or email.
