When you share a preprint in PsyArXiv it becomes available for a worldwide audience to read, share, and cite. Readers may access your work via its DOI, by searching the PsyArXiv site, or by discovering it in one of the many other platforms that index content from PsyArXiv.
Some of the major sources where readers can discover content from PsyArXiv include:
- Google and Google Scholar
- Europe PMC (Note that PubMed Central (PMC) does not currently index PsyArXiv content)
- OpenAlex
- Dimensions
- The Lens
- Core
- OSF Preprints – an aggregated search of all preprint servers hosted by OSF, including PsyArXiv
- Crossref Metadata Search
- ORCID – if you associate your preprint with your ORCID, it will automatically appear in your profile
- Clarivate Preprint Citation Index
This list will likely grow in the future as preprints are increasingly incorporated into discovery tools. For example, Scopus began indexing preprints from selected sources in 2023, although it currently does not index content from PsyArXiv.
