“I’m interested in preprinting my manuscript, but what will the journal(s) I hope to submit to think about that?”
In June 2019, we launched TRANSPOSE, a searchable online database of journal policies at https://transpose-publishing.github.io/ — visit this website to compare the preprint policies of up to 3 journals at a time.
TRANSPOSE is a grassroots initiative aiming to crowdsource a list of journal policies for (1) open peer review, (2) co-reviewer involvement, and (3) pre-printing (displayed below is a preliminary listing of journal preprint policies; please visit https://transpose-publishing.github.io/ for the most up-to-date data and a better user experience).Anyone can edit or add new records here. Original contributions are licensed CC0.
A listing of preprint policies covering more journals (though not broken down by specific policy area) can be found at SHERPA/RoMEO.

Journal of Health Economics and Outcomes Research | https://jheor.org/pages/152-journal-policies | A preprint is a version of a research manuscript prior to formal peer review at a journal, that has been deposited on a public server. Preprints allow authors to make their findings available to their professional community and can allow feedback on draft versions prior to submission to a journal for formal publication. Preprints are not considered prior publication for purposes of consideration by JHEOR. Authors should disclose details of preprint posting, including DOI and licensing terms, upon submission of the manuscript. When the preprint is published, the author is responsible for ensuring that the preprint record is updated with a publication reference, inclding the DOI and URL link to the published version of the article on the JHEOR website. | First submission only (before peer review) | Yes, in the reference list | Authors should disclose details of preprint posting, including DOI and licensing terms, upon submission of the manuscript.

Health Science Reports | https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal/23988835/homepage/forauthors.html#PreprintPolicy | A preprint is "a scholarly manuscript posted by the author(s) in an openly accessible platform, usually before or in parallel with the peer review process" (COPE Council. COPE Discussion document: Preprints. March 2018). Wiley believes that in communities where non-commercial preprint servers exist, journals should allow for the submission of manuscripts which have already been made available on such a server. As such, Health Science Reports will consider articles that have previously been made available as preprints on non-commercial servers, such as medRxiv and others. Similarly, Health Science Reports accepts the citation of preprints in journal submissions. Preprints can be posted prior or in parallel to submission to Health Science Reports. While preprints could also be posted after submission to the journal (while the manuscript is under consideration), this should be done before acceptance, to avoid duplicate DOI assignment. Authors are expected to declare any relevant preprint copies of the work in their cover letter. Please note that the editor may take into consideration comments that have been posted on preprint servers, when making a decision on the submitted manuscript. Authors can update their preprint with the revised and accepted versions, but they must make sure that any pre-publication version links to the final published article. This may include updating the preprint so that it includes a link to the published version, or using a preprint server like bioRxiv, that automatically links to the published article. For additional details, please review Wiley’s preprint policy. | First and revised versions until acceptance (NOT the postprint/AAM) | Yes, in the reference list | Please note that the editor may take into consideration comments that have been posted on preprint servers when making a decision on the submitted manuscript. | |||||

However, authors should be advised that the degree to which the submitted manuscript overlaps with what is already posted on the preprint server may affect the novelty of the findings for ASCO journal readership, and this will be taken into account in the evaluation of the manuscript. If a report has been published on a preprint server prior to manuscript submission, this must be acknowledged during the submission process. In addition, a link to that document must be provided so that reviewers and editors can evaluate the preprinted information and compare it with the submitted manuscript. Failure to acknowledge prior dissemination of research posted on preprint servers or similar databases will jeopardize the status of the submission. When such a manuscript has been submitted to an ASCO journal, no revisions should be posted to the preprint server during the manuscript's peer review process. If the manuscript is eventually accepted for publication, no revisions should be posted on the preprint server until the final manuscript is published online by ASCO, and any such revisions must not deviate from the final version of the manuscript published by ASCO. Finally, once the manuscript has been published by an ASCO journal, any future changes to the manuscript such as errata, discovered by the authors after journal publication for instance, must be first submitted, approved, and published by ASCO, prior to making any changes to the preprint document. Violation of this preprint policy will be considered grounds for article retraction. | First submission only (before peer review) | Unsure | Yes | |||||

PLOS encourages authors to post preprints as a way to accelerate the dissemination of research. PLOS partners with bioRxiv to make posting life sciences preprints easy and convenient. Authors posting preprints to the bioRxiv preprint server may choose to concurrently submit their manuscripts to PLOS journals through the bioRxiv direct transfer service. PLOS screens preprint submissions for bioRxiv suitability upon submission and before the manuscript enters the peer review process. The screening involves checks for: Scope.

Identifying personal information Eligibility to post on bioRxiv is independent from the editorial assessment and peer review process.

We advise authors and institutions against seeking publicity and press coverage at the preprint stage. Conclusions may be toned down as the result of peer review and premature coverage may inaccurately reflect findings. In addition, while prior publicity in the media will not affect decisions to publish work in a PLOS journal, it may affect decisions to publish in another journal.

To accelerate this process, we encourage researchers to deposit pre-publication versions of articles in appropriate preprint repositories such as arXiv, bioRxiv, engrXiv, paleorXiv, EarthArXiv and PeerJ Preprints. A preprint is defined as the version of the manuscript that is submitted to a journal, an earlier draft, or any part thereof. A postprint is the author’s manuscript version of the accepted paper. Full details of what you can do with these can be found in the licence to publish.

You should hear back from us within 4 working days. A decision on publication on the full manuscript will be reached within three weeks. A speedy review does not in any way guarantee acceptance of the manuscript, nor does it imply rapid release if the paper is accepted.

RCUK compliance Our self-archiving policies are fully compliant with RCUK (Research Councils UK) requirements. Gold open access is offered, and where funding is not available, authors may follow the Green open access route. They may upload their accepted manuscript to institutional and centrally organized repositories, but must stipulate that public availability be delayed until 12 months after first online publication in the journal. NIH compliance For NIH grantees, we are fully compliant with the National Institute of Health (NIH) Public Access policy. Oxford University Press automatically deposits all NIH-funded papers into PMC, provided NIH is acknowledged by the author as a funding source. For more information on Funder policies, click here. Use of the link to the version of record On publication of their article, authors will receive a URL, providing access without charge to the version of record on the Oxford Journal website. This link may then be sent to interested colleagues, or posted on the author’s own personal or institutional website. Accepted manuscript The accepted manuscript is defined here as the final draft author manuscript, as accepted for publication by a journal, including modifications based on referees’ suggestions, before it has undergone copyediting and proof correction. Authors may upload their accepted manuscript PDF to an institutional and/or centrally organized repository, provided that public availability is delayed until 12 months after first online publication in the journal. When uploading an accepted manuscript to a repository, authors should include the following acknowledgment as well as a link to the version of record. This will guarantee that the version of record is readily available to those accessing the article from public repositories, and means that the article is more likely to be cited correctly. This is a pre-copyedited, author-produced PDF of an article accepted for publication in [insert journal title] following peer review. The version of record [insert complete citation information here] is available online at: xxxxxxx [insert URL that the author will receive upon publication here]. Author’s original version The author’s original version is defined here as the un-refereed author version of an article that is considered by the author to be of sufficient quality to be submitted for formal peer review by a second party. The author accepts full responsibility for the article, which may have a version number or date stamp and the content and layout is set out by the author. Authors can make their original version of the article available on their personal website, institutional websites, and on public pre-print servers. On acceptance, the following statement should be added if possible: This article has been accepted for publication in [Journal Title] Published by Oxford University Press. Policy for Oxford Open articles only Authors of Oxford Open articles are entitled to deposit their accepted manuscript or the version of record in institutional and/or centrally organized repositories and can make this publicly available immediately upon publication, provided that the journal and OUP are attributed as the original place of publication and that correct citation details are given. Authors should also deposit the URL of their published article, in addition to the PDF version. The journal strongly encourages Oxford Open authors to deposit the version of record instead of the accepted manuscript. This will guarantee that the definitive version is readily available to those accessing your article from such repositories, and means that your article is more likely to be cited correctly. Oxford Journals automatically deposits open access articles in PMC for the majority of journals participating in Oxford Open.

Geophysical Research Letters | https://publications.agu.org/author-resource-center/publication-policies/dual-publication-policy/ | DUAL PUBLICATION POLICY PRIOR PUBLICATION AGU publishes journals and books for the purpose of disseminating reports of original investigations to its membership, the general scientific community and the public at large. In order to preserve the integrity of AGU publications with respect to publishing original investigations, AGU prohibits the submission of material for publication that has been previously published in any form that constitutes public distribution. Specifically, any document that is accessible to a library user, who does not have special access or privileges, directly or indirectly in paper or electronic form is considered published, except as noted below. Previously published explicitly does not include oral or poster presentations, meeting abstracts or student theses/dissertations. AGU does allow posting of preprints and accepted papers in not-for-profit preprint servers that are designed to facilitate community engagement and discovery across the sciences. Any other online publication with a service that provides archiving with citation protocols and public retrieval capabilities constitutes prior publication. Publication in Eos does not constitute dual publication if an author submits a manuscript on the same research to one of the AGU journals. Eos articles present material in a completely different manner from the archival publication. Publication of an article in any language prior to submission to an AGU journal constitutes dual publication. Other exceptions of postings or publications required for legal or other reasons may be considered at the discretion of the editors. DUAL SUBMISSION AGU will not consider for publication a manuscript that has been submitted to another peer-reviewed journal with the same basic scientific content reaching the same fundamental conclusions. This does not prohibit the submission to AGU of a manuscript that has been rejected by a peer-reviewed journal so long as that original submission and review process has been completed. Specific questions with respect to this policy should be directed to the Editor in Chief of the relevant journal. Approved by Council May 2013, Revised November 2014 USE OF PREPRINT SERVERS AND REPOSITORIES Preprint servers – AGU allows authors to post a draft their accepted manuscripts on Earth and Space Science Open Archive (ESSOAr) or another not-for-profit preprint server that is designed to facilitate community engagement and discovery across the sciences. Repositories – AGU allows to be placed in an institutional repository 6 months after publication and allows submitted articles to be accessible on the author’s personal website. AGU also supports governmental and institutional repositories and access is available to AGU content through CHORUS, usually 12 months after publication. | Unsure (preprints are allowed, but it's not clear what version) | Not specified | not mentioned | not mentioned | not mentioned | not mentioned | not mentioned | |

Physical Review Letters | https://journals.aps.org/prl/edannounce/PhysRevLett.101.140001 | When you submit an article to an APS journal, we ask you to sign our copyright form. It transfers copyright for the article to APS, but keeps certain rights for you, the author. We have recently changed the form to add the right to make ‘‘derivative works’’ that reuse parts of the article in a new work. The importance of this change is discussed below. Why does APS require copyright at all? It has recently become a matter of controversy whether publishers of scientific journals should take copyright from the authors of the articles. It is, after all, the authors’ ideas and hard work that form the content. We are sympathetic to this argument, but we believe that we need to hold copyright as a defense against the uncertainties of our technological society. The APS views its journals as part of a repository for the core knowledge of the field of physics. We take the responsibility to verify papers by peer review, and then preserve and protect them in perpetuity. A part of this responsibility is that of making the archives of the journal available in any medium that physicists might use in the future, even those we cannot anticipate. The APS has recently made its full content, back to volume 1, available on the World Wide Web. If the APS did not hold copyright for all of the back issues of our journals, then our move to electronic distribution would have required getting an extended license from all of the authors, because electronic distribution would not have been explicitly covered by a license to publish that was written before the internet age. Similar issues will arise in the future. The physics community should be protected from them. Since we recognize that transfer of copyright is important for this specific and limited reason, the APS has been very generous, by the standards of journal publishers, in giving rights to its authors to use their articles as they wish. The APS has allowed authors the right to publish the APS-prepared, final, and definitive version of the article on their web site or on the authors’ institution’s web site, immediately upon publication. The author’s final version could also be put onto e-print servers such as the arXiv. Authors and their institutions could make copies of their articles for classroom use, and others could copy the article for noncommercial use. As authors expect additional rights of use, we will consider adding them. Recently, some of our authors have asked for a new set of rights in regard to the reuse of material from an article in a new work. If substantial material from the original article appears in the new one, the new article is a ‘‘derivative work.’’ Under the ‘‘fair use’’ provisions of copyright law, most scientific, technical, and medical publishers allow reuse in other publications of up to 3 figures and 800 words of text from an article, without permission from the publisher, but with proper attribution. APS has been at least this generous for noncommercial reuse. Most of our authors reuse figures and equations from their articles in conference proceedings and in lectures posted on the web, and we encourage these forms of communication. However, a problem has arisen when our authors write articles for web resources such as Quantiki or Wikipedia. For understandable concerns of their own, these sites are very strict about permissions and require that authors hold copyright to material that they post. When authors write new material for the broader audience that use these sites but make substantial use of equations and figures from their articles, they put themselves in danger of creating a ‘‘derivative work’’ to which they cannot hold rights under the system we have had in place. We have thus changed our copyright agreement to correct this situation. In the new agreement, copyright rests with the author for derivative works that contain at least 10% new material and not more than 50% of their article that is published in an APS journal. We believe that this will allow authors sufficient freedom to reuse material from their articles in APS journals when writing for a new audience, while protecting the APS from wholesale copying of our content. We recommend that if authors wish to post a complete article from an APS journal, they instead provide a link to our site, or to a free copy of the article on their personal web sites. The APS has as a part of its mission to disseminate physics as widely as possible to different audiences. We hope that the new copyright transfer agreement will help our authors reach out to new readers while preserving our ability to provide a resource for physics that will always be available. The new copyright form is available now at http://forms.aps.org/author/copytrnsfr.pdf. | Any | Yes, in the reference list | ||||||

The website and URL must be identified in the cover letter accompanying submission of the paper to Scientific Reports. Scientific Reports supports open communication between researchers, whether on a recognised preprint server, through discussions at research meetings, or via online collaborative sites such as wikis. Neither conference presentations nor posting on recognised preprint servers constitute prior publication. | Unsure (preprints are allowed, but it's not clear what version) | https://www.nature.com/srep/journal-policies/editorial-policies#embargo-policy Researchers are welcome to respond to requests from the media in response to a preprint or conference presentation, by providing explanation or clarification of the work, or information about its context. In these circumstances, media coverage will not hinder editorial handling of the submission. Researchers should be aware that such coverage may reduce or pre-empt coverage by other media at the time of publication. We also advise that researchers approached by reporters in response to a preprint make it clear that the paper has not yet undergone peer review, and that the content is provisional. Details of peer review should be kept confidential. We believe it important that the final published version of a paper be publicly available when the work is discussed in the media. For that reason, we strongly discourage the direct solicitation of media coverage to appear ahead of publication of the final version of a paper. | ||||||

British Medical Journal (The BMJ) | https://authors.bmj.com/policies/preprints/ | The BMJ Journal policy: The BMJ does not want to publish material that has already appeared in full elsewhere. But we sometimes accept articles that have been published as abstracts or have been partially reported by the media at scientific meetings, and some that have already appeared in foreign language journals. Previous publication in electronic form in certain settings may be acceptable, too. For example, The BMJ does not consider posting of protocols or results in clinical trials registries to be prior publication. Before submitting material for publication authors often ask colleagues and peers for comments on the completed work. These unpublished articles are known as preprints. And, increasingly, authors are conducting this informal peer review using electronic preprints (eprints), often by posting the articles on websites and repositories. In all these cases we expect authors to tell us about previous publication and to supply us with copies of such previous versions. Then we can assess whether publication in The BMJ will add usefully to the medical literature, or whether it will just add redundant material. General BMJ policy (not specific to The BMJ Journal): BMJ fully supports and encourages the archiving of preprints in any recognised, not-for-profit, preprint server, such as arXiv, bioRxiv or medRxiv. The BMJ and BMJ journals do not consider the deposition of preprints in dedicated preprint repositories to be prior publication. BMJ places no restrictions on the licence chosen when posting a preprint version of work (eg authors may choose CC BY or CC BY NC), but authors must retain copyright of their work when posting to a preprint server. Authors must include a link/DOI to the preprint version of your manuscript when submitting to a BMJ journal. BMJ does not recommend that Author Accepted Manuscripts are placed on preprint servers. BMJ produces the Version of Record very quickly after manuscripts are accepted and so we encourage authors to post or link to the VOR, where appropriate. This helps to ensure the validity and integrity of the scientific record as readers are alerted to further versions, corrections, or retractions through technology contained in the Version of Record. Upon publication of your article by a BMJ journal, please add the following text to your preprint: “This article has been published in [insert full citation] following peer review and can also be viewed on the journal’s website at [insert DOI]. NB: Many preprint servers, including medRxiv, will automatically add a link to the published version.

If the manuscript is eventually accepted for publication, no revisions should be posted on the preprint server until the final manuscript is published online by ASCO, and any such revisions must not deviate from the final version of the manuscript published by ASCO.

Nature Communications | https://www.nature.com/ncomms/submit/how-to-submit | Any | Yes, in the reference list | Researchers may respond to requests from the media in response to a preprint or conference presentation, by providing explanation or clarification of the work, or information about its context. In these circumstances, media coverage will not hinder editorial handling of the submission. Researchers should be aware however that such coverage may reduce or pre-empt coverage by other media at the time of publication. We also advise that researchers approached by reporters in response to a preprint make it clear that the paper has not yet undergone peer review, that the findings are provisional and that the conclusions may change. Authors are expected to keep the details of the peer review and editorial process confidential. We believe it important that the peer-reviewed and published version of a paper should be available when the work is discussed in the public media, allowing the press to provide informed comment based on this version. For that reason, we strongly discourage the direct soliciting of media coverage to appear ahead of publication of the final version of a paper. If further clarification is required, please contact the Nature Research press office by e-mail. https://www.nature.com/authors/policies/embargo.html | ||||||
