**PsyArXiv** is designed to facilitate rapid dissemination of psychological research. It is a creation of the [Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science (SIPS)][2] and the [Center for Open Science (COS)][3], and is the [preferred preprint service of the APA][4].
**What can be posted**
PsyArXiv allows scholars to post documents such as working papers, unpublished work, and articles under review (preprints), making them accessible to other researchers and to the public *at no cost*. Users can also upload revisions of their posted document and supplemental documents such as appendices.
**Can a preprint of an article that will be published in a journal be posted?**
Most journals in psychology permit posting of preprints, and for most journals you can find their policy at the [SHERPA/RoMEO][5] database. Before publication, articles are your creative product to do with as you please. If your article has already been published in a journal, be sure to check the journal policy on posting — for example, many do not allow posting of the publisher-prepared PDF, but do allow posting of the original author-formatted document.
