About SCIENTRA

SCIENTRA is an open access repository for working papers, preprints and previously published research. Anyone can read what is here without an account, a subscription or a paywall. Anyone with an account can submit work.

How a submission becomes a publication

You upload a PDF with its title, authors, abstract, subject area, keywords and references. An editor checks that the submission is genuine scholarly work, that it sits in the right subject area, and that the metadata is accurate. This is an editorial screening, not peer review, and we say so plainly rather than implying otherwise.

Once a paper is approved it gets a permanent web address that will not change, an openly downloadable PDF, and citation metadata written to Google Scholar's inclusion guidelines so the work can be found, cited and counted.

Copyright

Authors keep copyright in their own work. Posting a paper here does not transfer any rights to us. If your paper is already published elsewhere, check your publisher's self-archiving policy before uploading, and add the DOI and journal name to the submission so the record is complete.
