BioRxiv: The Biology Preprint Server
A free online archive and distribution service for unpublished preprints in the life sciences operated by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. By posting preprints on bioRxiv, authors are able to make their findings immediately available to the scientific community and receive feedback on draft manuscripts before they are submitted to journals. Articles are not peer-reviewed, edited, or typeset before being posted online.

No endorsement of an article’s methods, assumptions, conclusions, or scientific quality by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is implied by its appearance in bioRxiv. An article may be posted prior to, or concurrently with, submission to a journal but should not be posted if it has already been published.
BioRN: Biology Research Network
Preprints, research papers series, and ejournals in biology.
