Wiley, a global leader in authoritative content and research intelligence, has announced the launch of Research Exchange Preprints, a modern platform designed to streamline the discovery and posting of early-stage research. ChemRxiv, the premier preprint server for chemistry, has selected Research Exchange Preprints as its platform provider, aiming to provide a seamless experience for authors and support rapid knowledge exchange in the chemistry research community.

Why it matters

The launch of Research Exchange Preprints and its partnership with ChemRxiv represents a significant step forward in the evolution of scientific publishing. Preprints play a crucial role in accelerating scientific discovery by enabling researchers to share findings immediately and gather valuable feedback before formal peer review. This collaboration between Wiley and ChemRxiv will help reduce friction for authors and support the kind of rapid knowledge exchange that the research community needs.

The details

Research Exchange Preprints will provide ChemRxiv with a modern publishing infrastructure, including intelligent file uploading, powerful AI-driven metadata extraction, and a streamlined submission process. The platform also features a robust versioning system that allows researchers to collaboratively manage their work, with dedicated DOIs for each version. Additionally, the integration with Wiley's "Under Review" service will enable researchers to establish provenance for their discoveries while maintaining the rigor of traditional peer review.
