To illustrate this approach simply, we can represent preprint review processes with the initials PR (Publish, Review):
1. Publish - researchers publish preprints on ‘preprint servers’
1.**Publish** - researchers publish preprints on ‘preprint servers’
2. Review - researchers review the preprints (and share the reviews)
2.**Review** - researchers review the preprints (and share the reviews)
Traditional journal publishing, on the other hand, could be described with the initials RP (Review, Publish):
Traditional journal publishing, on the other hand, could be described with the initials RP (Review, Publish):
1. Review - researchers review a submitted manuscript
1.**Review** - researchers review a submitted manuscript
2. Publish - the manuscript is published
2.**Publish** - the manuscript is published
This simple flip of the PR vs RP highlights the fundamental difference in approach. Preprint review processes flip the typical path of a manuscript through a journal on its head.
