We would like to share some details about a methodology (designing Q-Sorts in Q-methodology) which should be available as quickly as possible. We are considering registering a pre-print version in an open repository. But it seems that sometimes journals don't accept these articles as originals. We would appreciate tips and considerations from colleagues, in particular with experience in this field. Thank you!
These previous discussion may contain useful considerations, especially the first one:

Thanks, Wolfgang R. Dick , this is very useful. In our case, it is about wanting to share results with people who have shown interest without the process taking too long, and yet, being able to publish it in a journal, under peer-review. It seems that this process is still in development. Ideally, in the spirit of open research, we should be able to share research, without fears of others taking credit for our work.
Thanks for all the great tips, St Schulz ! We will surely look them up also for other cases in the future! Best regards
