Chemical & Engineering News: To more quickly disseminate research results, solicit feedback, and encourage collaborations, the American Chemical Society (ACS) has created its own preprint server dedicated to chemistry research. Tentatively called ChemRxiv, it follows in the footsteps of other similar servers, such as arXiv for physics and bioRxiv for biology. ACS is seeking other organizations interested in developing the server, which could launch in the next few months. Past attempts to create a preprint server for chemists failed, due in part to journal editors’ reluctance to publish research that has already been shared online. Proponents of the preprint strategy say that both authors and publishers benefit because preprint servers allow the sharing and vetting of preliminary research results before the more formal peer-review process.
