Just sharing a public thank you to the SIPs + PsyArXiv volunteers for maintaining such a successful resource
I understand the frustration of those with preprints that were temporarily removed but I think this is a good chance to reflect on the volunteer work of others that we often take for granted

Due to a recent influx of problematic submissions, PsyArXiv has switched to pre-moderating its content. If your submitted preprint had not yet been approved, it will be temporarily inaccessible to the public (you can still view your preprint when logged into your OSF account). #PsychSciSky
