List of academic journals by preprint policy

From HandWiki

This is a list of academic journals by their submission policies regarding the use of preprints prior to publication, such as the arXiv, and bioRxiv. Journals focusing on physics and mathematics are excluded because they routinely accept manuscripts that have been posted to preprint servers.

Publishers' policies on self-archiving (including preprint versions) can also be found at SHERPA/RoMEO.

Publishers with unified policies

Publisher Policy type Policy text Policy on preprint licenses Source
The JAMA Network Restrictions "Public dissemination of manuscripts prior to, simultaneous with, or following submission to this journal, such as posting the manuscript on preprint servers or other repositories, will necessitate making a determination of whether publication of the submitted manuscript will add meaningful new information to the medical literature or will be redundant with information already disseminated with the posting of the preprint. Authors should provide information about any preprint postings, including copies of the posted manuscript and a link to it, at the time of submission of the manuscript to this journal."

[1]

JMIR Publications (JMIR) Compatible JMIR Publications, publisher of the Journal of Medical Internet Research and other journals) has its own Preprint Server[2] but also publishes work that has previously published on other preprint servers. "We advocate open science and have no issues with submissions that were previously posted on other preprint servers. We ask that you disclose this fact in the cover "letter" (comments to the editor when you submit). If you have any previous peer-reviews, please upload them as well."

[3]

American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Compatible "Posting of manuscripts on institutional websites or on recognized community preprint servers, such as bioRxiv, is permitted under our publication policy. Authors must retain copyright to such postings and are encouraged to contact the journal’s editors to discuss their specific manuscript if they have questions. Please note that the AACR does not support posting of revised manuscripts that respond to editorial input and peer review or the final published version to preprint servers."

[4]

[5]

American Institute of Physics (AIP) Compatible "Author-prepared files only may be used; files prepared and/or formatted by AIP Publishing or its vendors (e.g., the PDF, PostScript, or HTML article files published in the online journals and proceedings) may not be used for this purpose."

[6]

American Physical Society Compatible From the submission FAQ: "E-print number, e.g., 0804.1718, assigned by the arXiv e-print servers. This can be used at submission to automatically download files from the e-print server."

[7]

American Phytopathological Society Compatible From the guidelines to the authors: "Authors are allowed to present and discuss their findings ahead of publication at scientific conferences, on preprint servers (such as arXiv, bioRxiv, or PeerJ preprints among others), in public databases, and other informal communication channels. When submitting a manuscript for review, authors need to disclose preprints, databases, proceedings, or other preliminary communications or depositories. However, abstracts, conferences, or personal communications need not be disclosed. This prior disclosure does not constitute prior publication."

[8]

American Society of Agronomy Compatible Posting of preprints to a preprint server is considered acceptable but requires citing of the preprint. Note the use of a preprint server in the cover letter, and as appropriate state how the manuscript has been adjusted/updated between the preprint version and the version submitted to the Journal.
American Society for Microbiology Compatible From the submission FAQ: "ASM journals will consider for publication manuscripts that have been posted in a recognized not-for-profit preprint archive, providing that upon acceptance of the manuscript for publication the author is still able to grant ASM copyright or agree to the terms of an Open Access license and pay the associated fee."

[9]

American Society of Clinical Oncology Compatible From Author Center: "All ASCO journals will consider publication of manuscripts that contain information previously posted on preprint servers. Perprint information must be disclosed at submission so reviewers and editors can evaluate the preprinted information and compare it with the submitted manuscript."

[10]

[11]

BMJ Compatible  
Crop Science Society of America Compatible Posting of preprints to a preprint server is considered acceptable but requires citing of the preprint. Note the use of a preprint server in the cover letter, and as appropriate state how the manuscript has been adjusted/updated between the preprint version and the version submitted to the Journal.
Soil Science Society of America Compatible Posting of preprints to a preprint server is considered acceptable but requires citing of the preprint. Note the use of a preprint server in the cover letter, and as appropriate state how the manuscript has been adjusted/updated between the preprint version and the version submitted to the Journal.
EMBO Press Compatible All four EMBO Press journals share the same policy: "All EMBO Press journals encourage prior publication on recognized non-peer-reviewed, community preprint servers such as arXiv and bioRxiv for commenting by other scientists before - or in parallel with - formal submission to the journal. Articles that have been published in an EMBO Press journal, accepted for publication, or revised to address referee comments should not be posted to bioRxiv (note that doing so would also contravene policy at bioRxiv and Crossref's policy against duplicative DOI assignment). BioRxiv posts will forward link to formally published papers. BioRxiv posts can be directly submitted with minimal effort to any EMBO Press journal. The details of the preprint server concerned and any accession numbers or DOIs must be included in the cover letter accompanying submission of the manuscript."

[12]

Genetics Society of America Compatible Both journals published by GSA, GENETICS and G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics allow authors to deposit manuscripts (currently under review or those for intended submission to GENETICS or G3) in non-commercial, pre-print servers such as bioRxiv or ArXiv.

[13] [14]

Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. Compatible Authors in any of Mary Ann Liebert's 80+ peer-reviewed journals (including The CRISPR Journal, Foodborne Pathogens and Disease, Human Gene Therapy, Stem Cells and Development, Tissue Engineering, and Zebrafish) may archive their preprint manuscripts (version prior to peer review) at any time without restrictions, including bioRxiv, arXiv, and ChemRxiv.

[15]

Microbiology Society Compatible The Society's Licence to Publish requires that articles have not previously been published in part or in whole within a scientific journal, book or similar entity. Deposition of a preprint version on the author's personal website, in an institutional repository, or in a recognized preprint archive (such as BioRxiv) is not viewed as prior publication, provided that:
  • The version posted has not been peer-reviewed, edited, or typeset.
  • Upon acceptance of their article for publication the author is still able to grant the Society an exclusive Licence to publish the article, or agree to the terms of the OpenMicrobiology agreement and pay the article processing charge (APC).

Authors should inform the journal at the time of submission if and where their article has been previously posted. Authors are required to provide a link to the final published article (known as the Version of Record) alongside the original preprint version.

[16]

Springer Nature Publishing Group Compatible The policy states "Author(s) are permitted to self-archive a pre-print and an author’s accepted manuscript version of their Article." [17]

[18]

IOP Publishing Compatible IOP supports the posting of preprints and has a unified policy across all IOP journals. Summary of the IOP policy:

You are welcome to post the preprint anywhere at any time as long as you retain copyright and rights to publish the article. For full details of the policy please see IOP's Preprint Policy page on IOP Science.

[19]
Oxford Journals Compatible "Prior to acceptance for publication in the journal, authors retain the right to make their original version of the article available on their own personal website and/or that of their employer and/or in free public servers of original version articles in their subject area, provided that, upon acceptance, they acknowledge that the article has been accepted for publication as follows: This article has been accepted for publication in [Journal Title] Published by Oxford University Press." [20]
Oxford University Press - ASN Journals Restrictions "If the AOV is posted to a preprint server under an open access license, publication of the article in the ASN journal must also be under the same type of open access license, and the author must agree to pay the journal’s open access fee." [21]
[22]
[23]
Springer, incl. SpringerOpen Journals and BioMed Central (BMC) Compatible Posting a manuscript on a pre-print server such as ArXiv is not considered to be duplicate publication. SpringerOpen/Biomed Central will also consider peer reviewing manuscripts that have been posted on an author's personal or institutional website. [24][25][26]
Taylor & Francis Compatible "This is your original manuscript (often called a “preprint”), and you can share this as much as you like. If you do decide to post it anywhere, including onto an academic networking site, we would recommend you use an amended version of the wording below to encourage usage and citation of your final, published article." [27]
The Company of Biologists Compatible All five journals of the Company have the same policy: Deposition of research manuscripts prior to submission on community pre-print servers, or of conference presentations online, will not be considered prior publication and will not compromise potential publication in Development/ Journal of Cell Science/ Journal of Experimental Biology/ Disease Models & Mechanisms/ Biology Open. Versions of a manuscript that have altered as a result of the peer review process may not be deposited. Authors should provide details of the deposition in the cover letter accompanying manuscript submission. Authors are requested to update the pre-print server record with a link to the final published version of the article on the journal website. [28][29][30][31][32]
Wiley Compatible Wiley believes that in communities where non-commercial preprint servers exist, journals should allow for the submission of manuscripts which have already been made available on such a server. Allowing submission does not, of course, guarantee that an article will be sent out for review; it simply reflects a belief that availability on a preprint server should not be a disqualifier for submission. [33][34]
PLOS Compatible [all PLOS Journals feature this language:] PLOS allows and encourages researchers to share early versions of their original research manuscripts via preprint servers either before or after submission to a PLOS journal. Authors choosing bioRxiv may now concurrently submit directly to select PLOS journals through bioRxiv's direct transfer to journal service. Posting a research article on a preprint server prior to or concurrently with submission to a PLOS journal will not preclude consideration of manuscripts for peer review in any PLOS journal. [35]
PeerJ Compatible PeerJ accepts submissions which have previously appeared on preprint servers (including PeerJ PrePrints and arXiv); have previously been presented at conferences; or have previously appeared in other ‘non journal’ venues (for example: blogs or posters). [36]
[37]
Royal Society Publishing Compatible we encourage researchers to deposit early versions of articles they intend to submit to a peer-reviewed journal in appropriate subject repositories...The manuscript submitted to a journal, an earlier draft, or any part thereof may be deposited at any time and made freely available. Posting a preprint on a recognised preprint server or repository does not constitute prior publication or a breach of our media embargo policy, and will prejudice neither the peer review process nor publication in our journals. [38]
Sage Publishing Compatible "Most SAGE journals are published under SAGE's Green Open Access policy, which allows you, as author, to re-use your Contribution as indicated below.... You may share the version of the Contribution you submitted to the journal (version 1) anywhere at any time." Seven journals (two management journals and five medicine journals) are listed as exceptions to the Green Open Access Policy as of January 2018. [39]
American Chemical Society Compatible in most cases "Each ACS journal has a specific policy on prior publication that is determined by the ACS Editor in accordance with their final responsibility for editorial decisions relative to their publications. Details of the respective prior publication policies of each ACS journal is available at http://pubs.acs.org/page/policy/prior/index.html ". On August 10, 2016, ACS announced the development of a chemistry preprint server, ChemRxiv. [40]. On August 14, 2017, ACS announced the release of a fully functioning beta site for ChemRxiv developed with strategic input from the Royal Society of Chemistry, the GDCh, the chemistry community, other societies, funders, and non-profits, open for submissions and available for all readers at chemrxiv. [41]
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Compatible Cold Spring Harbor journals only accept papers presenting original research that has not been published previously. Conference presentations or posting unrefereed manuscripts on not-for-profit community preprint servers will not be considered prior publication. Authors are responsible for updating the archived preprint with the journal reference (including DOI), and a link to the published article on the appropriate journal website upon publication. [42]
University of Chicago Press Likely compatible We place no conditions on posting a paper intended for submission (but not yet submitted) to one of our journals, except to note that posting a paper online may, in some cases, constitute prior publication – for example, posting to a commercial venue and/or to a venue with a formal review and approval process. Please consult the journal's editor if you have questions about whether or not a particular use constitutes prior publication. [43]
Canadian Science Publishing (NRC Research Press) Compatible Authors retain the right to "post a copy of their submitted manuscript (pre-print) on their own Web site, an institutional repository, a preprint server, or their funding body's designated archive (no embargo period)..." and "... post a copy of their accepted manuscript (post-print) on their own Web site, an institutional repository, a preprint server, or their funding body's designated archive (no embargo period). Authors who archive or self-archive accepted articles are asked to provide a hyperlink from the manuscript to the Journal's Web site." [44]
Cambridge University Press Compatible Author retains (among other rights): The right to deposit Author's Original and Submitted Manuscript Under Review at any time as well as Accepted Manuscript six months after publishing to Non-commercial Subject Repository. [45]
IUCr Journals Compatible The inclusion of material in an informal publication, e.g. a preprint server or a newsletter, does not preclude publication in an IUCr journal. [46]
World Scientific Compatible From author rights: "[authors] may post the preprint anywhere at any time, provided it is accompanied by [an appropriate] acknowledgement" [47]
Emerald Group Publishing Compatible "Emerald does not consider the upload of a preprint to a preprint server prior publication, and would not request its removal. However, this policy is only applicable if: the author declares to the Emerald editor on submission of their article that a preprint is hosted on a preprint server; the author has not assigned copyright to the pre-print server. Where possible, Emerald will take steps to minimize the impact upon the anonymity of the double blind peer review, such as asking editors to strike out any reference to a preprint before sending the paper out to review. If the submitted article is accepted for publication, Emerald would expect the preprint to be amended to state ‘This is an author-created, un-copyedited version of an article accepted for publication in [insert name of journal]’. Upon publication, the preprint should be amended to include the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) to direct the reader to the version of record, hosted on www.emeraldinsight.com." [48]

Individual journals

Journal Publisher Policy type Policy text Policy on preprint licenses Source
American Naturalist University of Chicago Press Restrictions "Earlier versions of papers can appear as preprints on noncommercial discipline-specific repositories (such as arXiv or BioRxiv). Preprints on commercial repositories or repositories with publications attached (such as PeerJ) are not allowed." "If the preprint on the noncommercial repository has been posted with a CC license, that license must be noncommercial (CC-BY-NC or NC plus further restrictions) or have no license. If a preprint has been posted on the noncommercial repository with a commercial license (CC-BY with no restrictions), then any subsequent publication in the American Naturalist must have the commercial CC-BY license and the authors must pay the Article Processing Charges (see below)." [49]
Analytical Chemistry ACS Compatible [50]
The BMJ (formerly British Medical Journal) BMJ Compatible Preprint ("the pre-review manuscript that is submitted to a journal, or any earlier draft.") can be posted. [51][[[Link rot dead link}}]]]
New England Journal of Medicine Depends NEJM does not have a written policy on preprints, but [...] NEJM does not object to the publication of an article on a preprint server prior to submission. As for all articles, the editors consider novelty when making manuscript decisions. If substantial publicity for a study occurs before or during the peer-review process, priority for publication could be affected.[52] [53][52]

J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2019;101:1-4
Alzheimer's & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association Alzheimer's Association / Elsevier Compatible Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture or academic thesis or as an electronic preprint, see 'Multiple, redundant or concurrent publication' section of our ethics policy for more information) [54]
Journal of Clinical Oncology (JCO) American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Compatible "Journal of Clinical Oncology will consider publication of manuscripts that contain information previously posted on preprint servers. Perprint information must be disclosed at submission so reviewers and editors can evaluate the preprinted information and compare it with the submitted manuscript."

[55]

JCO Clinical Cancer Informatics (JCO CCI) American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Compatible "JCO Clinical Cancer Informatics will consider publication of manuscripts that contain information previously posted on preprint servers. Perprint information must be disclosed at submission so reviewers and editors can evaluate the preprinted information and compare it with the submitted manuscript."

[56]

JCO Precision Oncology (JCO PO) American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Compatible "JCO Precision Oncology will consider publication of manuscripts that contain information previously posted on preprint servers. Perprint information must be disclosed at submission so reviewers and editors can evaluate the preprinted information and compare it with the submitted manuscript."

[57]

Journal of Global Oncology (JGO) American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Compatible "Journal of Global Oncology will consider publication of manuscripts that contain information previously posted on preprint servers.

Perprint information must be disclosed at submission so reviewers and editors can evaluate the preprinted information and compare it with the submitted manuscript."

[59]

FASEB Journal FASEB Compatible FASEB permits the submission of preprint manuscripts, which will undergo the same review process as “non-preprint” manuscripts. Preprint submissions must meet the following criteria and conditions [...] “Preprint submissions posted to preprint servers with an open access license are allowed, but authors will be required—without exception—to pay the journal’s open access fee as a condition of acceptance.”[60] [61]
Science AAAS Compatible Science will not consider any original research paper or component of a research paper that has been published or is under consideration for publication elsewhere. Distribution on the Internet may be considered prior publication and may compromise the originality of the paper as a submission to Science, although we do allow posting of research papers on not-for-profit preprint servers such as arxiv.org and bioRxiv. Please contact the editors with questions regarding allowable postings to other servers. [62]
PNAS NAS Compatible Posting to Preprint Servers, such as arXiv or bioRxiv, is permitted. See the PNAS statement on prior publication for details, and see section vii for media embargo policies.[63] "We have never refused to consider a manuscript based on the license that an author has chosen for its preprint..." [64] [65]
Current Biology Cell Compatible We will consider papers previously posted on a preprint server such as arXiv or bioRxiv. We are very interested to hear from researchers about their motivations for posting and to discuss with them whether it is the best approach for their paper, so we strongly encourage authors who are planning to submit to us to contact the editors first to discuss their specific paper and situation. This policy only applies to the original submitted version of the paper; we do not support posting of revisions that respond to editorial input and peer review or the final published version to preprint servers. Also, our prepublication publicity policies with regard to coverage in the broader media still apply to studies posted on preprint servers. [66]
Current Plant Biology Elsevier Compatible All manuscripts submitted are peer-reviewed before being accepted for publication to Current Plant Biology. By submitting a manuscript to CPB authors state that the manuscript has not being submitted elsewhere, and that it contains unpublished data. Current Plant Biology does not accept work that has already been published elsewhere in the peer-reviewed literature. Activities such as publication of a short abstract; presentation of data to a scientific meeting; posting of the manuscript to any of the author's personal website, in an online institutional repository or on a freely accessible preprint server such as arXiv or bioRxiv, are not considered prior publication and do not exclude consideration of manuscript by CPB. Publication of a paper in the proceedings of a scientific meeting generally constitutes prior publication
Journal of Neuroscience Compatible The Journal of Neuroscience generally does not accept manuscripts that have been previously published. An exception is made for manuscripts that have been posted on the Internet for the purpose of receiving commentary from the community. Such posting is typically done at a pre-publication repository that has been designed for the purpose, but posting on an institutional web site or other Internet location is acceptable [67]
NeuroImage Compatible "Authors are able to upload their author manuscript to a public-domain preprint server upon submission to NeuroImage. The editorial team will not consider a publicly available (non-peer reviewed) preprint as a prior publication." [68]
Journal of Theoretical Biology Compatible In general, Elsevier is permissive with respect to authors and electronic preprints. If an electronic preprint of an article is placed on a public server prior to its submission to an Elsevier journal or where a paper was originally authored as a thesis or dissertation, this is not generally viewed by Elsevier as “prior publication” [69]
Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine Wiley Compatible Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture or academic thesis or as an electronic preprint, see http://www.elsevier.com/postingpolicy) [70]
Cell Cell Compatible We will consider papers previously posted on a preprint server such as arXiv or bioRxiv.

This policy only applies to the original submitted version of the paper; we do not support posting of revisions that respond to editorial input and peer review or the final published version to preprint servers. Also, our prepublication publicity policies with regard to coverage in the broader media still apply to studies posted on preprint servers. [71]
Neuron Cell Compatible We will consider papers previously posted on a preprint server such as arXiv or bioRxiv.

Molecular Biology and Evolution Oxford Journals Compatible Author can archive a pre-print version. Author cannot archive a post-print version [78]
Nucleic Acids Research Oxford Journals Compatible NAR allows authors to deposit preprints in community preprint servers such as ArXiv.org, provided that entries are updated to acknowledge that the article has been accepted/published by NAR. Please click here for our full self-archiving policy. Our policy towards such archives is kept under review, but we currently do not consider articles that have already been posted in Nature Precedings or PLoS Currents. Authors are encouraged to contact the editorial office if they are in any doubt about prior submission. [79]
Synthetic Biology Oxford Journals Compatible [Authors] may make their manuscripts available on public preprint servers, if they agree to follow the following policy:
  • Authors must declare their intent to, or the presence of, the initial or the revised manuscript on public preprint servers at the time of submission to Synthetic Biology.
  • All manuscripts under consideration at Synthetic Biology whilst posted on a preprint server must contain the journal name on the top-right corner of the first page in bold letters along with the current status of the manuscript (“In review”, “Revision Invited”, or “Accepted”).
  • Authors must update their manuscripts on pre-print servers diligently so the current version matches the version under consideration at Synthetic Biology. If the manuscript is accepted and published inSynthetic Biology, authors must update the preprint listing with the full citation line in Synthetic Biology, and a link to the final published version.
[80][81][82]
Genes & Development Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Compatible The journal only accepts papers that present original research that has not been published previously. Conference presentations or posting unrefereed manuscripts on preprint servers will not be considered prior publication. Authors are responsible for updating the archived preprint with the journal reference (including DOI), and a link to the published article on the Genes & Development website upon publication. [83]
Genome Research Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Compatible The journal only accepts papers that present original research that has not been published previously.

The Lancet Elsevier Compatible Presentation of data at a scientific meeting, as a poster, abstract, orally, on a CD, or as an abstract on the web or on a pre-print server does not conflict with submission to The Lancet [86]
RNA Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Compatible The journal only accepts papers that present original research that has not been published previously. Conference presentations or posting unrefereed manuscripts on preprint servers will not be considered prior publication. Authors are responsible for updating the archived preprint with the journal reference (including DOI), and a link to the published article on the RNA website upon publication. [87]
eLife Compatible Conference presentations, blog discussions, and deposition to open, online repositories will not affect consideration of a manuscript by eLife. We want to encourage high-quality, informed, and widespread discussion of new research before and after publication, depending on interest in the material and the authors' preferences. So, yes, works posted to arXiv are eligible for submission to eLife. [88]
F1000Research F1000 Compatible Articles must not have been published, nor be currently under consideration or review elsewhere, except on a preprint server such as F1000Posters, ArXiv or PeerJ PrePrints. [89]
Frontiers in Journals Compatible This shall not prevent the author from issuing abstracts to conferences or depositing the draft article in a non-commercial, non peer-reviewed preprint archive such as arXiv.org or similar depositaries in accordance with usual academic practice. [90]
Biophysical Journal Cell Compatible BJ will consider for publication manuscripts that have been posted informally on a private website or on ArXiv or BioRxiv, but will not consider manuscripts that have been posted on other preprint servers or "virtual journal" websites. Questions related to this policy should be directed to the Editorial Office. [91]
Journal of Bacteriology American Society for Microbiology Compatible ASM journals will consider for publication manuscripts that have been posted in a recognized not-for-profit preprint archive. [92]
Biology of the Cell Wiley Likely Incompatible / Unclear Unclear. When submitting a manuscript to BoC it is understood that the data have been neither published nor also submitted for publication elsewhere in any language (excluding abstracts for conferences of less than one page and without illustrations) [33]
The EMBO Journal, EMBO Reports, EMBO Molecular Medicine, Molecular Systems Biology EMBO Press Compatible All EMBO Press journals encourage prior publication on recognized non-peer-reviewed, community preprint servers such as arXiv and bioRxiv for commenting by other scientists before - or in parallel with - formal submission to the journal. Articles that have been published in an EMBO Press journal, accepted for publication, or revised to address referee comments should not be posted to bioRxiv (note that doing so would also contravene policy at bioRxiv and Crossref's policy against duplicative DOI assignment). BioRxiv posts will forward link to formally published papers. BioRxiv posts can be directly submitted with minimal effort to any EMBO Press journal. The details of the preprint server concerned and any accession numbers or DOIs must be included in the cover letter accompanying submission of the manuscript. [93]
Journal of Neurophysiology Compatible Authors submitting to the Journal of Neurophysiology (JN) may submit papers that have been previously posted to preprint servers and other non-peer-reviewed websites. [94]
Molecular & Cellular Proteomics ASBMB Compatible The following do not constitute prior or duplicate publication and will not preclude a manuscript from consideration: [...] a manuscript posted in a recognized not-for-profit preprint archive provided that upon acceptance of the manuscript for publication, the author is still able to grant ASBMB copyright or agree to the terms of an Open Access license and pay the associated fee [95]
Journal of Biological Chemistry ASBMB Compatible The following do not constitute prior or duplicate publication and will not preclude a manuscript from consideration:
  • a manuscript posted in a recognized not-for-profit preprint archive provided that upon acceptance of the manuscript for publication, the author is still able to grant ASBMB copyright or agree to the terms of an Open Access license and pay the associated fee
[96]
Proteomics John Wiley & Sons Compatible There is no obligation upon authors to remove preprints posted to not for profit preprint servers prior to submission. [33]
Journal of Proteome Research ACS compatible Journal of Proteome Research considers for publication only original work that has not been previously published and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. When submitting a manuscript, an author should inform the Editor of any prior dissemination of the content in print or electronic format. This includes mini papers and preprints on institutional repositories and other Web sites. Electronic posting of conference presentations or posters secured by subscription or institutional logins are not considered prior publication works. Posting of pre-prints to a pre-print server is considered acceptable, but requires citing of the posted paper. [97]
Journal of Proteomics Elsevier Compatible Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture or academic thesis or as an electronic preprint). [98]
American Journal of Human Genetics Cell Compatible Per AJHG, the following text applies to engagement with media only: Work intended for submission to AJHG, currently under consideration at AJHG, or in press at AJHG may not be discussed with the media before publication. Providing preprints, granting interviews, discussing data with members of the media, or participating in press conferences in advance of publication without prior approval from the AJHG editorial office may be grounds for rejection. [99][100]
Genetics Genetics Society of America Compatible GENETICS allows authors to deposit manuscripts (currently under review or those for intended submission to GENETICS) in non-commercial, pre-print servers such as bioRxiv or ArXiv. [101]

The deposited version must be the author version (before peer-review). 12 months after publication in Evolution one can deposit the final version. [33]
[108]
[109]
BioEssays John Wiley & Sons Compatible Wiley believes that in communities where non-commercial preprint servers exist, journals should allow for the submission of manuscripts which have already been made available on such a server. [33]
Molecular Biology of the Cell American Society for Cell Biology Compatible The following activities prior to submission of a manuscript to MBoC do not constitute prior publication and do not preclude consideration of the manuscript by MBoC: publication of a short abstract; presentation of data at a scientific meeting or in a Webcast of such a meeting; or posting of a manuscript on an author's personal website, in an online institutional repository, or on a freely accessible preprint server such as arXiv or bioRxiv. [110]
MPMI APS Compatible Authors are allowed to present their findings ahead of publication on preprint servers. When submitting a manuscript for review, authors need to disclose preprints, databases, proceedings, or other preliminary communications or depositories. This prior disclosure does not constitute prior publication. [111]
Phytopathology APS Compatible Authors are allowed to present their findings ahead of publication on preprint servers. When submitting a manuscript for review, authors need to disclose preprints, databases, proceedings, or other preliminary communications or depositories. This prior disclosure does not constitute prior publication. [112]
Plant Disease APS Compatible Authors are allowed to present their findings ahead of publication on preprint servers. When submitting a manuscript for review, authors need to disclose preprints, databases, proceedings, or other preliminary communications or depositories. This prior disclosure does not constitute prior publication. [113]
Phytobiomes APS Compatible Authors are allowed to present their findings ahead of publication on preprint servers. When submitting a manuscript for review, authors need to disclose preprints, databases, proceedings, or other preliminary communications or depositories. This prior disclosure does not constitute prior publication. [114]
Health Science Reports Wiley Compatible Health Science Reports will consider articles that have previously been made available as preprints on non-commercial servers, such as medRxiv, ArXiv, bioRxiv, and others. Similarly, Health Science Reports accepts the citation of preprints in journal submissions. Authors are expected to declare any relevant preprint copies of the work in their cover letter. Authors can update their preprint with the revised and accepted versions, but they must make sure that any pre-publication version links to the final published article. [115]
Journal of Clinical Investigation ASCI Compatible The JCI will consider manuscripts that have been posted to a community preprint server; authors must disclose the preprint server and the accession number or DOI in their cover letter. [116]
Journal of Statistical Software ASA Compatible Based on a personal e-mail communication with the Editor/Publisher on 2015/08/07. Relevant quote from the communication: "Drafts may appear prior to publication on pre-print servers such as arXiv or bioRxiv."
Medical Decision Making (and Medical Decision Making Policy & Practice) SMDM[117] Compatible To reduce the potential for duplicate publication, one of Medical Decision Making's pre-submission requirements is author verification of the following statement: “Confirm that the manuscript has been submitted solely to this journal and is not published, in press, or submitted elsewhere.” However, there are two exceptions to this rule at MDM: (1) documents that were previously published on the authors’ institutional Web site but have never been peer reviewed, and (2) documents that have functioned in an institutional or government setting as background material, official “working papers,” or technical briefs but have never been peer reviewed.... [118]
Open Access Journal of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Association of India Compatible Authors are permitted and encouraged to post their work online (e.g., in institutional repositories or on their website) prior to and during the submission process, as it can lead to productive exchanges, as well as earlier and greater citation of published work [119]
European Respiratory Journal European Respiratory Society Compatible [120]

Journal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology (JARO) Springer Compatible Authors should submit studies that have not been submitted or published elsewhere. Any re-representation of published data must be fully acknowledged and done with the approval of the copyright holder. Prior deposit of a manuscript prior to peer review with a preprint server (bioRxiv, arXiv, etc) is acceptable. Authours should indicate the existence of such submissions in their cover letter, including the DOI. After acceptance, the preprint version of the article should be updated with a link to the final accepted work at the journal publisher's website.
Judgement and Decision Making Society for Judgment and Decision Making Compatible An article cannot be previously published in a refereed journal. It can, however, be published in a conference proceedings, a personal web site, a working-paper series, or a pre-print server. [123]
Medical Physics American Association for Physics in Medicine Compatible This journal will consider for review articles previously available as preprints on non-commercial servers such as ArXiv, bioRxiv, psyArXiv, SocArXiv, engrXiv, etc. Authors may also post the submitted version of a manuscript to non-commercial servers at any time. Authors are requested to update any pre-publication versions with a link to the final published article. Authors must declare self-archival of the manuscript during submission. [124]
