The Nature Publishing Group, in partnership with the British Library and the Wellcome Trust, has introduced Nature Precedings, a new way for scholars to distribute their preliminary findings. Here is an excerpt from their description of the site:
“Nature Precedings is a place for researchers to share documents, including presentations, posters, white papers, technical papers, supplementary findings, and manuscripts. It provides a rapid way to disseminate emerging results and new theories, solicit opinions, and record the provenance of ideas. It also makes such material easy to archive, share and cite. The whole service is free of charge.”
Explore and Enjoy,
