Jxiv is the latest country-specific online repository to open, but it’s off to a slow start.
Japan’s output of published research papers is very high, but researchers don’t often share their manuscripts on preprint servers.Japan has become the latest country to open an online preprint repository, in a bid to boost international exposure to the country’s research. But so far, researchers haven’t rushed to— fewer than 40 papers have been uploaded since it launched in March — and some researchers say the platform isn’t necessary.
Japan’s output of published research papers is among the highest in the world. But researchers in Japan don’t often share early versions of their manuscripts on preprint servers, says Soichi Kubota, who works at the department of information infrastructure at the government-run Japan Science and Technology Agency in Tokyo.
India, Russia, China, Indonesia and Africa have their own dedicated repositories. Similar services that host research conducted in France and the Arab world were discontinued in 2020. Some of the most popular repositories are subject-specific, such as the original preprint server, arXiv, for physical-science and mathematics manuscripts.
Kubota notes that researchers often post early manuscripts on preprint servers to garner comments from peers, which acts as an informal peer review, before submitting the manuscript to a journal. This process can also reduce the workload on journal peer reviewers, he says.
