Preprint moderation policies

OSF Preprints is a network of community-run preprint servers that provide a platform for scholars to upload working papers, preprints, and published papers, with the option to link data and code. COS is dedicated to enabling the OSF's community-run preprint servers in their goals of opening up scholarly publication, to reach more people more effectively, to improve research, and build the future of scholarly communication. Preprint servers are pre-moderation services, where submissions are in a private, pending state until a moderator accepts or rejects them. Authors are given notice of reasoning behind any preprints that are rejected.

OSF Preprints policies:

Contributors on the articles, papers, and other content submitted to community-run preprint servers hosted on the OSF should be clearly labeled as such in preprint metadata.
Content completely or mostly generated by large language model (LLM) tools or other artificial intelligence (AI) tools is not appropriate for OSF Preprints.
Content should be original content created by the user, or posted with explicit permission and appropriate attribution of the content creator.
Organizations should not use OSF user accounts to act as publication aggregates, clearinghouses, or DOI minting services. OSF Preprints offers to host organizations’ content through an OSF Preprints membership https://www.cos.io/products/osf-preprints.

Preprint best practices:

Choose a title for your preprint that clearly and effectively describes the content of your work
Carefully consider the scope of your work that each preprint captures. For example, one preprint may effectively describe a detailed study, rather than many preprints representing many parts of the same experiment.
