ASAPbio and the Knowledge Futures Group teamed up to facilitate a discussion about new ways of sharing scientific information amidst the coronavirus pandemic, via preprints, rapid peer review, and more.
Given the growth of preprint servers and alternative platforms, it is increasingly important to describe their disciplinary scope and compare and contrast policies including governance, licensing, archiving strategies and the nature of any screening checks.
These practices are important to both researchers and policymakers. Here we present a list of preprint servers with searchable information about their policies and practices. This list was originally collected for a study (see https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.04.27.063578) but many records have been subsequently updated. See the last item in the expanded record for each server to find the date of the most recent update.

PLOS encourages authors to submit preprints before or upon submission to their journals. Every month, PLOS sends an opt-in email about ‘Articles from preprint to publication’ at PLOS featuring an author’s experience from that month’s published preprints. The experiences of preprint authors are a powerful resource when advocating for preprints.
