About Preprint Servers

As part of its adoption of Open Science principles to favor the credibility and transparency of research results, the journal accepts unpublished manuscripts and documents that have been previously deposited in recognized Preprint servers within the specialty (ArXiv, bioRxiv, PLoS, SciELO Preprints, PubMed Central [PMC], MedRxiv). Authors must mention in their submission the availability of the document in any of these servers and its exact location. Submitted manuscripts will undergo an initial evaluation to determine their relevance to the journal’s thematic scope and compliance with established regulations.
