In Review: preprint service on Animal Microbiome

Animal Microbiome, in partnership with Research Square, is offering In Review - a preprint service to all authors.

At the time of submission, authors can choose this free optional service whereby their submitted manuscript will be hosted specifically on Animal Microbiome's In Review preprint platform. Authors will then be able to:

  • Share their work with fellow researchers to read, comment on, and cite even before publication
  • Showcase their work to funders and others with a citable DOI while it is still under review
  • Track their manuscript - including seeing when reviewers are invited, and when reports are received

See what the Animal Microbiome In Review platform looks like.
