After a year of rejections, is submitting my review article to a preprint server a good idea?

06 January 2025 1 6K Report

I’ve been struggling to get my review article published for the past year and have faced repeated rejections. I'm considering submitting it to a preprint server, but I'm unsure if this is the right step. Could anyone advise on whether submitting a review article to a preprint server is a good choice in this situation?

I’d like to know:

Is posting on a preprint server a good way to share my work if traditional journal submission has not been successful?

Would posting a preprint help me gain visibility and feedback that could improve my article for journal submission?

Are there any risks or drawbacks to submitting a review article as a preprint that I should be aware of?

Any guidance or personal experiences with preprints would be greatly appreciated!

It depends on guidelines of some journals. Some say yes, and some say no. Look it up carefully. Break a leg!
