Leading Preprint Server ChemRxiv Joins Wiley’s Newly Launched Research Exchange Preprints

Wiley (NYSE: WLY), a global leader in authoritative content and research intelligence for the advancement of scientific discovery, innovation, and learning, today announced the launch of Research Exchange Preprints, a modern platform designed to streamline the discovery and posting of early-stage research. ChemRxiv, the premier preprint server for chemistry, co-owned by the American Chemical Society, Royal Society of Chemistry, German Chemical Society, Chinese Chemical Society, and Chemical Society of Japan, has selected Research Exchange Preprints as its platform provider.

ChemRxiv hosts tens of thousands of chemistry preprints and enables millions of downloads globally, serving as a critical resource for the chemistry community. Preprints accelerate scientific discovery by enabling researchers to share findings immediately and globally, establish scope and key findings, and gather valuable feedback before formal peer review, providing real-time knowledge exchange.

With a shared commitment to meeting authors’ needs, ChemRxiv on Research Exchange Preprints will provide a seamless experience through intelligent file uploading, powerful AI-driven metadata extraction, and a streamlined submission process. The platform features a robust versioning system that allows researchers to collaboratively manage their work, with dedicated DOIs for each version.

“Together, ChemRxiv and Research Exchange Preprints will reduce friction for authors and support the kind of rapid knowledge exchange the research community needs,” said Julie Nash, VP of Business Growth & Development, Publishing Solutions at Wiley. “Through a modern publishing infrastructure, we will bring more findings to life, helping researchers share information more efficiently to drive breakthroughs in the chemical sciences.”

The launch builds on Wiley’s comprehensive Research Exchange platform, which now supports over 1,500 scholarly journals. The platform will seamlessly connect preprint posting with article submission through the “Under Review” service, allowing authors to share work early while transparently tracking the peer review process. This integration enables researchers to establish provenance for their discoveries while maintaining the rigor of traditional peer review.

“We selected Research Exchange Preprints because of Wiley’s focus on an improved experience for preprint authors and readers,” said Ben Mudrak, Senior Product Manager at ChemRxiv. “The platform’s robust features, combined with future plans for rendering full-text preprints, closely align with our goal to speed up processes at ChemRxiv as it grows and our commitment to serving the chemistry research community with a state-of-the-art preprint experience.”

Research Exchange Preprints offers customizable branding, dedicated custom domains, and sophisticated editorial dashboards that provide real-time insights into submissions and content performance. The platform’s architecture, built on the Atypon Experience Platform, ensures scalability and reliability while enabling rapid deployment of new features based on community feedback.
