Will journals refuse to consider submissions from Nature Precedings? Andrea Gawrylewski, New site pits 'published' vs. 'posted', TheScientist, June 19, 2007. Excerpt:
Comment. These issues have long since been settled for researchers and journals in the fields covered by arXiv and other preprint archives. The trend is toward the decline of the Ingelfinger Rule and the rise of preprint archiving. But we'll see how this plays out in the fields covered by Nature Precedings (biology, medicine, chemistry, and geoscience) and whether Nature Precedings itself can affect the outcome. For example, if researchers take to it in numbers even remotely approaching those of arXiv, then journals will have to accommodate it. |
