1. The advantage of preprint is that it helps to communicate with peers in time and get feedback, which may help you to revise your manuscript and give priority to publication. However, due to the lack of peer review, some people think that the reliability of pre-printed articles may not be guaranteed. In fact, Nature only says that the publication of pre-printed articles will not affect the submission of articles in the series of journals of Nature, but the author has the responsibility to inform the editor of the publication address of pre-printed articles in the submission letter, and the contents of the manuscript cannot be disseminated to the media. Nature believes that preprint will promote communication between peers, thus obtaining better information feedback, forming a virtuous circle and improving the quality of articles.

Nature is one of the top international journals, and countless researchers hope that their papers can appear in this magazine, because it means that their work has been highly recognized.
