\section*{Preprints are here to stay~}

{\label{462135}}

Preprints and preprint servers continue to gain popularity across
disciplines, and the number of new preprints
is~\href{https://www.crossref.org/blog/preprints-growth-rate-ten-times-higher-than-journal-articles/}{growing
at a rate significantly higher than journal articles}. Researchers have
many choices when it comes to hosting their preprint, and it can be
challenging to know how to choose.~

\par\null

\section*{So, why preprint in the first
place?}

{\label{831023}}

Still unsure about what a preprint is, and what the benefits of
publishing one are? We have a
\href{https://www.authorea.com/users/8850/articles/168656-what-is-a-preprint}{full
introductory article}, and will summarize a few points here:

\par\null

\subsection*{Get published}

{\label{358012}}

Disseminate your findings as soon as they are ready. Share your work
without waiting for formal publication or final versions.

\par\null

\subsection*{Invite early comments and
feedback}

{\label{422377}}

Preprints are open for all to read, so you can invite your colleagues to
provide comments and feedback to help you improve your work.~

\par\null

\subsection*{Establish credit}

{\label{482156}}

Get credit for all your research outputs - articles, data sets, figures,
and more - by uploading them on Authorea and minting a DOI. This way,
you establish an early version of record which will always remain valid.
And you can get cited while your work is under review!

\par\null

\section*{What about submitting to
journals?}

{\label{842219}}

Most journals accept submissions that have been published as preprints.
Your preprint on Authorea will link to the final, published version of
your article, so your final citation count won't be affected.

\par\null

\section*{How does Authorea compare to other preprint
servers?}

{\label{532905}}\par\null

\subsection*{Authorea is fast seamless
publishing}

{\label{315411}}

Upload your work easily and mint a DOI immediately. Other servers can
take hours or days. Share your preprint with your colleagues right away.

\par\null

\subsection*{Publish many files, different
formats}

{\label{189947}}

The documents you publish on Authorea don't have to be traditional
scholarly articles. You can publish anything: articles, data sets, code,
figures, tables, slides, micropublications, and Jupyter Notebooks.

\par\null

\subsection*{Beautiful, HTML-based
content}

{\label{795454}}

Your content will be hosted in an HTML-based environment, not a static
PDF. Yes, you can even include Javascript-based visualizations like the
one below in Figure 1.

\par\null

\subsection*{Open data and executable
figures}

{\label{874614}}

Upload your data for review by your colleagues, and include fully
executable figures in your work. Authorea enriches your content to make
research interactive.
