What is Friendly Journals?
To advance open science and the fast dissemination of research, Preprints.org is striving for offering more and more free services for authors. This “Friendly Journals” service has been built for a direct connection between journals and Preprints.org.
With this service, the benefits for authors include the following:
- Time saving: authors can save time in the submission process of Preprints.org or journals by automatically transferring some manuscript information from Preprints.org to “Friendly Journals” or from “Friendly Journals” to Preprints.org.
- Journal recommendations: once authors have finalized their submission on Preprints.org, they can select one friendly journal that they are interested in. Preprints.org will recommend authors’ manuscripts to the corresponding friendly journal.
