Our First Decade of
Open Research
Sharing, Together

Conceived long before its launch, the idea behind Preprints.org dates back to 1998, when MDPI registered the domain www.preprints.net and planned a service to collect draft manuscripts. The idea is realized in 2016 with the launch of Preprints.org.
Ten years later, we have grown into a global platform where researchers share work, exchange feedback, and advance open knowledge together. As we celebrate our first decade, we look back at what the community has built and invite you to join us with what comes next.
