At Preprints.org, we’re committed to accelerating research and making science more open and collaborative. We’re excited to announce our deepened partnership with PREreview, a nonprofit dedicated to equity and transparency in research feedback. This integration seamlessly connects PREreview’s community-driven review portal with Preprints.org, enabling researchers to request and receive expert feedback efficiently.
Together, we aim to enrich the feedback loop for scholarly work and drive impactful change across the global research community.
Empowering Researchers Through Open Feedback
This partnership puts researchers first. Here’s what you can expect:
- Expert Insights Early:
Access expert feedback during the early stages of your research process, allowing you to refine your work before formal submission—accelerating improvements and fostering innovation.
- Global Community Engagement:
Connect with PREreview’s diverse network of reviewers for rapid insights that bypass delays in traditional peer review.
- Enhanced Academic Visibility
Play a pivotal role in advancing open science by using your expertise to support fellow researchers. Every review receives a DOI and can be linked to your ORCID profile, ensuring proper credit for your contributions.
- Simplified Workflow:
Enjoy a simplified workflow—from preprint submission to receiving community feedback—backed by the COAR Notify protocol for seamless notifications.
This integration bridges the gap between sharing your work and improving it, all within a supportive, open framework.
How It Works: Feedback in Three Simple Steps
- Submit Your Preprint: Upload your manuscript on Preprints.org.
- Click “PREreview Request”: Once your preprint is online, click the “PREreview Request” button.
- Get Notified: Receive an email notification as soon as feedback is available.
Note: Feedback timing varies with community participation, but any feedback provided will be promptly delivered to your inbox.
Powered by the COAR Notify protocol, this feature ensures smooth communication. All PREreviews are published via Zenodo with a DOI and CC BY 4.0 license, making them citable contributions.
Voices from Us: A Shared Vision for Open Science
Our teams at Preprints.org and PREreview share a common vision for advancing open science:
Lloyd Shu, the Product Manager of Preprints.org:
“Open platforms are the foundation of scientific progress. Partnering with PREreview amplifies our commitment to transparent, inclusive collaboration—ensuring feedback reaches authors faster and fosters innovation.”
Daniela Saderi, PhD, Co-founder and Executive Director of PREreview:
“We build human-centric workflows to make peer feedback kinder and more constructive. Connecting Preprints.org authors with our global network accelerates open dialogue, where diverse expertise—not just credentials—shapes impactful research.”
Elevating Research Through Community-Driven Feedback
PREreview empowers anyone with an ORCID iD to provide structured or full-length reviews, covering 29 preprints servers, including Preprints.org. Reviews can be shared openly under real or pseudonymous identities. Authors gain insights from interdisciplinary perspectives, while reviewers contribute to a culture of open scientific communication.
Key features include:
- Searchable Feedback: Filter requests for feedback by research field and/or language on PREreview website.
- 360-Degree Feedback: Allow authors and reviewers to comment on or respond to any given PREreview.
- Real-Time Collaboration: Join PREreview’s Slack Community (#request-a-review channel) to get real-time updates on preprints in need of feedback, ask questions, and find opportunities to collaborate.
As Daniela Saderi explains:
“Preprints provide a unique opportunity for real-time feedback, accelerating the research process by bypassing delays in traditional peer review. Surveys show that researchers value feedback on preprints, and initiatives supporting preprint review are growing.”
“At PREreview, we believe that everyone has valuable insights to offer through their expertise and experience. In academia, expertise is too often measured narrowly—typically by credentials, institutional affiliations, or publication records—overlooking the diverse perspectives, lived experiences, and interdisciplinary knowledge that can enrich research, foster innovation, and drive more inclusive and impactful scientific progress.”— Daniela Saderi
