Canadian Science Publishing (CSP) has announced a new integration with bioRxiv, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory’s preprint server. Authors of preprints posted on bioRxiv can now submit their work directly to CSP’s journals Arctic Science or Genome using bioRxiv’s journal submission service, B2J.
By posting on preprint servers like bioRxiv, authors disseminate early versions of their work and increase its visibility, solicit feedback from the community, and facilitate collaboration with other researchers. With this integration, researchers will now be able to submit their manuscript quickly and easily to Arctic Science or Genome for formal editorial review.
This partnership with bioRxiv reflects CSP’s commitment to ensuring that research is easy to discover, use, and share and extends the not-for-profit publisher’s support of authors making their articles freely accessible by posting pre-prints and post-prints on repositories of their choice (i.e., on their own website, an institutional repository, a preprint server, or their funding body's designated archive).
To submit a preprint directly from bioRxiv, authors can select Arctic Science or Genome from the drop-down menu of titles available. After the journal receives a submission from bioRxiv, the journal’s editorial office will check that all files and metadata are present and send the corresponding author a link to answer some journal-specific questions before the manuscript is considered for peer review.
