Some 7 years ago, following successes in physics, ChemWeb.com\nlaunched the Chemistry Preprint Server (CPS),\nand Warr evaluated it in a JCIM article three years later.\nShe wrote about ‘lessons learned’, but the only one seemed to have been that chemistry was not\nready for it, as the project shutdown in 2004.\nThe archives are still available,\nfortunately, and you may find it amusing to look up my or some other submission.

\n\n

Now, Nascent wrote that Nature is setting up\nNature Precedings, which was earlier\nnoted by Pedro.\nThe official announcement was published as an editorial in\nNature. This being a Nature initiative, and not focused on just chemistry, I am sure it will do\nbetter than CPS. BTW, media coverage is tracked in a social way.

\n\n

I might request an test account;\nI do have an old half-finished manuscript that I never got around to finishing. While still relevant,\nit could use some community input; this preprint server would be the perfect tool. That’s how my first\nmanuscript ended up on CPS too :)
