Preprints
Brazilian Dental Science is open to submissions of preprints. A preprint is defined as a manuscript ready for submission to a journal that is deposited on trusted servers, prior to or in parallel with submission to a journal. A reliable preprint server needs to have a transparent moderation policy, offer DOI to submitted preprints, allow changes, comments and community evaluation with researcher endorsement and interoperability with other services and platforms. Only submissions of work previously deposited on public server platforms that meet these reliability and transparency characteristics will be accepted.
The public platforms Preprints, SciELO Preprints and EmeRI are recommended for open discussion before approval and publication in the journal.
If the article is accepted and published in Brazilian Dental Science, the authors must update their registration on the preprint server, providing the full reference of the publication in the journal.
