The ACS has announced a new chemRxiv preprint server to enhance early research sharing in chemistry.
Previous attempts at a preprint server attracted few submissions, revealing challenges in quality and engagement.
The initiative echoes practices in physics, which have effectively utilized preprint servers for sharing research.
The success of this server may depend on factors such as submission rates and the resulting quality of shared research.

Implication

ACS introduces a chemRxiv preprint server for early research sharing, suggesting its potential impact on submissions in chemistry.

Abstract

This week the ACS announced its intention to establish a "ChemRxiv preprint server to promote early research sharing". This was first tried quite a few years ago, following the example of especially the physicists. As I recollect the experiment lasted about a year, attracted few submissions and even fewer of high quality.
