I was told that I have decisioned over 1,700 preprints this year! 😱Moderators, including myself, are driven by our commitment to making science better. This means staying vigilant against AI-generated spam & allowing researchers around the world to share their work openly.
Pls support PsyArXiv!
Metadata matters!
If you submit a preprint to PsyArXiv, to ensure smooth acceptance, don't forget to fill out the metadata correctly.

Below you will find a few tips, but detailed guidelines are at 👉 buff.ly/M3cRBW2
