Article Management System Your research, public today.
Citable from the day it appears.
Post your manuscript the moment it is ready. It is screened by a moderator, goes live open-access with its own DOI, and stays permanently on the record while peer review takes its own time.
Every version separately citable · the DOI always resolves to the newest · signed community review on every preprint.
Why post your preprint here
One platform carries your work from first posting through to peer-reviewed publication, and keeps the two records linked.
One click to peer review
Move your preprint into a conference or journal here without re-entering a thing — and when it is published, the two records link automatically.
A registered DOI at posting
Every screened preprint receives a Crossref-registered DOI and a permanent article page, so it can be cited the day it goes live.
Every version, preserved
Post revised versions with change notes. The page always serves the newest file; every earlier version stays downloadable and citable.
Article metrics on the page
Views, downloads and citation counts, shown on your article page and updated as they come in.
The link keeps resolving
Withdrawal leaves a formal dated notice in place of the file. Your bibliographic record and your DOI stay resolvable.
Built to be found
OAI-PMH metadata for harvesters, correctly-labelled BibTeX/RIS exports, RSS feeds — your work travels beyond this site.
How it works
Format your manuscript — our template has every required section ready.
Sign in, pick a collection, upload your files, and confirm the posting declarations.
A moderator checks scope, completeness and integrity — typically within 48 working hours. This is not peer review.
Your preprint goes public with its DOI. If the collection has a posting fee, it goes live the moment payment clears.
Platform members review your preprint under their real names. You control it from your author account — approve each review, reply publicly, or turn reviews off.
What posting here gives you
Free in this collectionPosting on this collection is free. Screening decides whether a preprint is posted, and money never enters that decision because there is no money in it. Two things come with it: the publishing infrastructure your preprint sits on, and the review layer on top of it.
- Moderator screening for scope, completeness and research integrity
- A registered DOI that resolves permanently to your work
- A public preprint page and open-access hosting, kept indefinitely
- Version history — post new versions, each separately citable, with the DOI resolving to the newest
- Citation & metadata services: BibTeX/RIS, OAI-PMH, machine-readable XML for indexers
- Automatic linking to the version of record once the paper is published anywhere
- Any signed-in platform member can review your preprint; anyone at all can read those reviews
- Every review is signed — real name, affiliation, ORCID and a competing-interests declaration. No anonymous drive-bys
- You choose the setting: approve each review before it appears (the default), publish reviews immediately, or turn reviews off entirely
- Reply publicly to any review, under your own name
- Withdraw a review you believe is unfair — a dated notice stays in its place, so the record is never quietly rewritten
- Reviews are readers' opinions, never an editorial decision by Technology Fist
Each collection sets its own posting fee and many are free; the exact amount is shown before you submit. Nothing else is charged — no fee for extra versions, no fee for reviews, no fee to read.
Standards & policies
What screening checks
- Complete scholarly form: title, authors with affiliations, abstract, and a full reference list; experimental work structured as introduction, methods, results, discussion.
- Real, verifiable author identities; the submitter confirms every co-author knows about and agrees to the posting.
- Research-ethics compliance: human or animal studies must name the approving committee, approval code and date; informed consent where required.
- A conflict-of-interest statement in the manuscript (or the explicit sentence that none exist).
- No plagiarism, fabricated data or manipulated images; no pseudoscientific or harmful content; strong claims need accessible supporting data.
- AI tools cannot be authors; substantive AI assistance belongs in the Methods section.
What can be posted
*Only if not yet peer-reviewed and without an existing DOI.
Versions & corrections
- Post an updated version whenever the work advances; a short change note is shown in the public history.
- Typo-level slips? Request a minor correction — the file is replaced in place, no new version number.
- One update at a time; the live version stays up while a new one is screened. Recommended pace: at most one version every two weeks.
- The DOI always resolves to the newest version; every earlier version stays downloadable and individually citable.
Withdrawal
A posted preprint is part of the scholarly record and cannot be completely removed. Withdrawal is exceptional and considered only for:
- author misconduct (plagiarism, fabricated data),
- a serious scientific error a new version cannot fix,
- a serious concern readers must be alerted to.
A withdrawn preprint keeps a public, dated notice stating the ground. Complete removal happens only for legal reasons (court order, copyright, privacy, public safety).
License & permanence
You keep copyright and choose the license at submission — CC BY 4.0 recommended. By posting you affirm you have the right to post, grant this platform a perpetual non-exclusive license to distribute the work, and understand the permanence rules above.
Planning a patent? Posting counts as public disclosure — file first. Some journals decline manuscripts already posted; check your target journal's policy (Sherpa Romeo lists them).
When your work is published
Tell us from your author page — one form field. The preprint page then points every reader to the version of record, and the link travels into the DOI metadata. Papers peer-reviewed on this platform link up automatically.
Data availability
A data-availability statement is part of every submission. Deposit your data in a recognised repository where you can, and link it, so a reader is able to check the claims for themselves.
Quick answers
Is this peer review?
No. Screening checks scope, completeness and integrity — it does not evaluate the science the way peer review does. Every preprint page says so prominently. What you do get is community review: signed, public assessments written by platform members, openly attributed. It is expert opinion and it does not replace an editorial decision.
Who can review my preprint, and can I stop it?
Any signed-in platform member can write one, always under their real name, affiliation and ORCID, with a competing-interests declaration published alongside. You are in control from your author account: reviews are held for your approval by default, or you can publish them immediately, or turn reviews off. You can reply publicly to any review, and you can withdraw one — a dated notice with your reason stays in its place, so a reader can see what happened.
Why signed member reviews rather than an open comment box?
Because a reader has to be able to weigh what is said. An anonymous comment box attracts spam and drive-by attacks, and gives a reader no way to judge who is speaking or what their stake is. Requiring a named member account keeps reviews accountable to write, while everything stays open to read — you do not need an account to read a single word.
Can I cite a preprint?
Yes — by its DOI. Citation exports (BibTeX, RIS, and formatted styles) are provided on each article page, correctly labelled as a preprint.
Can I delete my preprint later?
No — that is the deal with a DOI. See the withdrawal rules above: exceptional withdrawal leaves a dated public notice; the record itself stays.
Will posting hurt my journal submission?
Most journals welcome preprints; a few do not. Check the journal's policy before posting. Posting establishes priority — the timestamped, DOI-registered proof that you reported the result first.
What does it cost?
Each collection sets its own posting fee — many are free. Where a fee exists it is shown before you submit, is charged only after screening approval, and never influences the screening outcome. It is a single charge covering both the publication infrastructure (DOI, permanent hosting, versioning, metadata and citation exports) and the community review layer — see the section above. Extra versions, reviews, and reading are never charged for.
I found a typo the day after posting. New version?
No need — request a minor correction from your author page. The file is replaced in place without a new version number.
