 This guide is written for researchers in energy systems who want to make their research papers available in cases where [[Open Journals|open access]] is not possible. Many journals allow versions of their research papers to be made freely available online that are similar or identical in content to the final published version. These are often called eprints (a collective term for preprints and postprints, see definitions below). In many cases this is also possible for papers long after they have been published by the journal.
-Some researchers also use preprints to collect feedback on manuscripts outside the review process. This feedback can then be fed into the resubmitted manuscript after review. See also [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manuscript_(publishing)#Role Wikipedia: Preprint: Role].
+Preprints enable early dissemination of manuscripts and a way to establish priority for new discoveries and ideas. Some researchers also use preprints to collect feedback on manuscripts outside the review process. This feedback can then be fed into the resubmitted manuscript after review. See also [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manuscript_(publishing)#Role Wikipedia: Preprint: Role] and the preprint [https://doi.org/10.31222/osf.io/796tu The evolving preprint landscape: Introductory report for the Knowledge Exchange working group on preprints] (2018).
 In other disciplines such as [https://arxiv.org/list/hep-th/new theoretical physics] and mathematics, almost all papers are published first as preprints, with repositories such as the [https://arxiv.org/ arXiv] also serving as announcement lists (journals then only serve as an independent seal of approval). In other fields such as economics and engineering, preprints are not so widely used.
 Eprints in institutional or government repositories are also indexed by services such as [https://unpaywall.org/ Unpaywall], which for a given paper DOI finds legal, openly-available versions.
 A list of the policies of specific energy-related journals as well as a list of eprint repositories is provided below.

 This can be problematic if the link is not stable; many websites are redesigned or go offline, which is not sustainable. This can be solved if institutional repositories have DOIs. A good if not better solution is to use an official preprint archive, see links below.
