A preprint is an academic research output that has not yet undergone peer review or been published, and has been made available online.

Common practice in some disciplines, preprints can aid the prompt dissemination of outcomes, contribute to academic discourse and increase chances of early feedback and commentary from peers. There are preprint repositories for nearly all disciplines. A selection of these include:

• arXiv.org
  arXiv.org is a preprint server for astrophysics, condensed matter, general relativity, high energy physics, mathematical physics, nuclear physics, general physics, quantum physics, mathematics, nonlinear sciences, computer science, electrical engineering, quantitative biology, quantitative finance, statistics, and economics.
• Research Papers in Economics (RePEc)
  RePEc is a collaborative effort of hundreds of volunteers in more than 100 countries to enhance the dissemination of research in economics and related sciences.
• Social Science Research Network (SSRN)
  SSRN has access to worldwide social science research and is composed of a number of specialised research networks in each of the social sciences.
• MedRxiv is a preprint server for the medical, clinical, and related health sciences.
• SocArxiv is a preprint archive for the Social Sciences.
