Preprint Server Network:
- Preprint Server Network i.e. (PSN) is started by Prabodhanam Foundation to enhance and encourage research work in India and the world.
- In academic publishing, a preprint is a version of a scholarly or scientific paper that precedes formal peer review and publication in a peer-reviewed scholarly or scientific journal. The preprint may be available, often as a non-typeset version available free, before or after a paper is published in a journal.
- PSN platform is initially for universities and academic institutions in India and the world to publish their institute student’s contributions in their own institute preprint server.
- The PSN helps students and researchers to publish the following content:
- Ideas
- Short Editorial
- Review Data
- Comparative Data
- Result Data
- Lab Data
- Programming
- Other Research Content
- Academic institutions face the challenges of managing the students mini-project reports, project reports, seminar reports, research articles, etc. in submission, review comments, modification notifications, keeping all versions of records, and authorship of work-related issues. PSN helps academic institutions to manage all these issues easily.
- PSN help to solve these issues. The academic institutions can manage and publish all the students mini-project reports, project reports, seminar reports, research articles, etc.
- The academic institutions with the help of PSN can publish the students preprints in PSN, suggest the modification in preprints, keep records in PSN, and update all versions of preprint as per modification by students can publish all modified versions online in PSN.
- The Prabodhanam Foundation provides the server space to academic institutions to create PSN servers.
- All preprints will be available online permanently and indexed with different indexing providers (e.g. index in Google and Google scholar etc.)
- The PSN helps the students get credit for their work, and the academic institute gets their own permanent archive of preprints.
- The academic institutions with the help of a permanent preprint archive get the credit for contributions to the research and development field.
- PSN provide platform and server space for academic institute to manage the online submission, review by moderators, modification, notification, publication, preprint website setting, setup customize licensing, indexing, open access option, user registration, moderator comment, etc.
