ACS Publications Webinar on September 18

Preprints - draft manuscripts which have not been subject to peer review - have been part of the research publishing landscape for more than 30 years and are being adopted by a growing number of authors worldwide. This growth also brings challenges, such as the citation of preprints by the news media, the persistence of studies that are later retracted, and issues around prior publication arising from the patent process.

Our panel will discuss the key issues around the role of preprints in the scientific record and provide attendees with an opportunity to ask questions of experts in the field.
