Policy Regarding the Publication of Preprints and Postprints

Economics of Science encourages the publication of preprints by authors prior to submission. We also encourage the publication of postprints, or accepted manuscripts, in institutional and interdisciplinary repositories such as SSRN and SocArxiv without an embargo on publication. 

We would like to bring to your attention the Russian multidisciplinary platform PREPRINTS.RU, which provides a space for the publication of preprints before submission to journals. All materials submitted to PREPRINTS.RU are moderated including plagiarism check, and a DOI is assigned to each preprint. Users of the platform can comment on preprints and these comments are also moderated. The content is published under the Creative Commons CC BY 4.0 license, which allows authors to retain all rights to their work while allowing others to use it legally, conditioned they provide a reference to the original source.
