We encourage researchers to submit their work to Advance prior to or at the same time as submitting to a journal for formal peer-review and publication. More and more journals are happy to accept for consideration manuscripts that have been posted as preprints - always check the journal's submission guidelines to make sure. All accepted preprints will be assigned a digital object identifier (DOI), ensuring that your preprint can be linked to its published version in the future.
