# Preprint Servers Guide
A comprehensive guide to preprint servers across all major academic disciplines, covering submission workflows, licensing, and programmatic access.
## What Are Preprints?
Preprints are complete research manuscripts shared publicly before formal peer review. They enable rapid dissemination of findings, establish priority of discovery, and invite community feedback before journal submission.
Key characteristics:
- **Not peer reviewed** (but increasingly moderated for basic quality)
- **Freely accessible** to anyone
- **Citable** with a DOI
- **Versioned** (authors can post revisions)
- **Compatible** with most journal submissions (check journal policy first)
