REGISTER AT THE GRAD CENTER  Graduate Students have priority

Federal agencies and private foundations are moving toward requiring immediate public access to funded research. Preprint platforms offer an avenue for public access that does not require a heft article processing charge (APC). This option becomes more attractive as a system of  journal-indepent peer review develops.
