Preprints and Postprints in Creating a Landscape for Effective Scientifi c Communication

Abstract

The process of publishing an article in the journal begins from the moment the authors upload the manuscript to the electronic system of the journal, followed by a thorough process of reviewing the manuscript and revision by the authors. Sometimes the process of waiting for publication can take a long time, and preprints can help shorten the time frame and make research results available before official publication. Preprints are becoming more and more popular, allowing scientists to quickly exchange information. First of all, preprints spread in the fields of physics, mathematics and computer science, and later in the field of biology. Currently, preprints have appeared in the field of food technology. Authors publish preprints in the public domain to speed up the process of publishing their research data. A number of researchers in the field of preprints support the growing trend of their dissemination, others express concerns. We tried to consider examples of using preprints in the food industry.
