Some types of content, such as research conducted on humans or experimental animals, have additional requirements, such as providing an ethical approval statement from a research ethics committee, informed consent of the research participants, and information regarding conflicts of interest and/or funding concerns.
- If your paper has not been posted online yet, you can send your revised version to the assigned editor directly via email. The editors will check and post your revised version online as the first version of the paper.
- If your paper has already been posted online and you have found some minor typos or revisions that require correcting (for example, errors in the title, author names, author affiliations, or abstract), please contact the editor assigned to your paper with your updated version, highlighting the parts that require revisions. The editor will check and make the necessary revisions to the first version of the paper.
- If your paper has already been posted online and you wish to make substantial updates to the content (for example, include new findings/data, expand the discussion, update the analysis in a manner that may lead to new conclusions, etc.), you can click the Submit button and select the “submit a follow-up version” button, or find the paper under the “online” tab, and click the “submit a follow-up version” button on the right to submit your new version. Our editor will check the new version as soon as possible, and an email will be sent to you once it has been posted online.
You can either directly contact the editor assigned to your paper or contact info@preprints.org with the necessary changes/corrections.
If you need to make authorship changes, such as adding or removing authors from the preprint paper, you will need to clarify the contributions of all authors whose authorship has changed and the reasons for this change. A form must then be signed and agreed upon by all current authors.
