New Psychiatry Preprints

New Psychiatry Preprints

This is the open peer review environment for preprints of the New Psychiatry Journal. 

Submissions to New Psychiatry Preprints are posted here as open access preprint articles to undergo open peer review prior to official publication.

To encourage new ideas with fair publication, peer review will be open access, meaning peer reviewers will be identified and their reviews will be publicly accessible. In this manner, new ideas will not be quashed by the anonymous opinions of academic peer reviewers without any public awareness. High scientific standards still will be maintained: sufficient scientific evidence or rationale will be required for papers, and conceptual soundness and rigor will be needed. One-sided papers that ignore alternative viewpoints, or are based on demonstrably false or misleading factual premises, will not be published. Open peer reviews will provide rationales for such non-publication.

The identity of the reviewers and their comments are visible at all times. This means that reviews have to be constructive, courteous, and well-written. Reviews are published with a Creative Commons Attribution License CC-BY (4.0) license and also receive a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) from CrossRef, similar to a formal research publication. This means that reviews are re-usable, citable, and permanent records of your reviewing activities, and therefore all of your review activities can be integrated with ORCID, Publons, and ImpactStory, helping to build your profile as a researcher.
