Recently, I have written a research article. I want to produce preprint of it. I found various platforms for creating preprints of articles, including arXiv and Researchsquare. Personally, which platform do you prefer?
A professor whom I highly respect highly recommended arXiv to us. When i want to research a subject firstly i look to arXiv.
Dear Senem Çabuk and Isaac Lare Animasaun ,
Thank you so much for your response.
Our collaborators have used Researchsquare for creating pre-prints. On the other hand, my few friends recommended arXiv as a good platform. I am unaware about the audiences in the both platforms, but I found that we should prepare our article in LaTex version for arXiv while it is not necessary for Researchsqare, right?
Dear Gianluca Rossetto
Quite interesting article entitled "A systematic examination of preprint platforms for use in the medical and biomedical sciences setting". Thank you :)
A very good question in the present context, Sujan. From my personal experience, Researchsquare and arXiv are the best-known platforms to date.
I have never heard of Researchsquare and everybody I know in astronomy upload their preprints to arXiv, so I would recommend that for astronomy papers. Also keep in mind that if a paper is not accepted in a reputable peer-reviewd journal, it will be difficult for it to be taken seriously, so arXiv is not the final place for it.
Dear Michal Michalowski
I am agree with you. I always appreciate your valuable responses. Thank you :)
For astronomy / astrophysics - arXiv will be the best suitable - https://www.researchgate.net/post/Whether_PREPRINT_Article_can_be_considered_as_Scholarly_Article

I have a different perspective for uploading any preprint anywhere before it has been published anywhere. Why you let others know about your insights and methodologies before publication? You may say that I am somewhat old-fashioned, but I have a different perspective for uploading any preprint anywhere before it has been published by your name. So, my advice is to not put your research anywhere until it is published.
- Your manuscript may be copied and then published by others before you can do that. This stealing of your paper might be happening. You must wait until the paper is accepted and then published by that journal. Then, upload that research item on any platform you wish.
- You should avoid telling the other researchers about the details of anyone of your papers until it has been published and seeing your name by yourself.
- A journal may have automated plagiarism software to check the paper before admitting it to the reviewing process. There are chances that your paper can get a rejection at any point. Thus, to avoid this problem. So, please publish the preprint after you got ACCEPTED.
For me personally:

Otherwise - arXiv.org
