Can I prioritize preprint processing of my journal submission on Research Square?

Yes, you can select to have preprint processing prioritized, but the submission will be posted without the journal information. Once your manuscript passes the required journal checks, the journal information will be added to your preprint.


To begin this process, use the following steps:


1. Select “Peer Review Timeline” from the left side of the menu.


2. Select the “Learn More” option on the right side of the screen.

Your preprint will go through our internal quality control checks. You will receive an email from Research Square once your preprint has posted.
