About WikiJournal Preprints

WikiJournal Preprints is a preprint server on Wikiversity for creating and editing academic article drafts before external peer review. Drafts can be started in the site's writing interface or converted from existing Wikipedia articles, then submitted to journals in the WikiJournal Publishing Group via a submission form, or to other preprint-compatible journals via their websites.

The site describes its journals as open-access with no publishing costs to authors and with public peer review. Manuscripts submitted as preprints or from Wikipedia are public, while submission by email is described as confidential. Editorial assignment takes about a week and reviewer assessment takes about two months; reviews are public though reviewers may stay anonymous, authors keep final choice over wording, and accepted work appears as a stable PDF and editable wiki page with reviewer comments, with suitable material integrated into Wikipedia.
