I have completed a 20 page disruptive paper that is ready to be submitted to a peer reviewed Journal of Lower Extremity Biomechanics and Bioengineering for consideration.
The paper has an abstract.
Can I market the essence of the paper or the abstract or share it personally or online before submitting the paper for publication to a Journal?
Hello Dennis Shavelson
Some journals will permit this and some will not. If there is any doubt with your selected journal, I suggest you may need to contact them directly. I would hate for them to say you have '"breached the rules" before you submitted it. I say this because sometimes I may have published the abstract from having presented at a conference and some journals say that this rendered my submission as "null and void'". I would just take it to another journal where it IS ok.
You may publish a preprint (see., e.g., https://www.researchgate.net/blog/preprints-share-3-reasons), but, as Joseph C Lee wrote, there is certain risk. There have been also cases when ideas where stolen from preprints and published. See also these previous discussions:

I wish to thank Joseph & Wolfgang for their valuable input.
I am submitting the paper without any preprint or fanfare.
Very excited to get this far at this age and stage.

It has been accepted for review and given a case number whoxhbususally means thatvtherebwill be edits and correctiobs vut itbshould get piblished.
There is an abstractvwhich I can share which reveals for the firstvtime a new clinical entiry in biomechanics
That should iconoclastically change mainstream lower extremity biomechancis thinking.
