Preprints

The Brazilian Journal of Occupational Therapy accepts the publication of preprint articles. A preprint is defined as a manuscript ready for submission to a journal and deposited in reliable preprint servers before or in parallel with submission to a journal.

The use of preprints is the author’s choice, and it is assumed that when submitting the article to the journal, through the Open Science Compliance Form, the name of the Preprint server and the DOI of the Preprint are provided.

Articles submitted as preprints share with journals the originality in publication, and the evaluation process will not use the double-anonymized procedure since the authorship will become known.
