This is SO helpful!! Some of the journal sites seem to really bury this information.

A really big thank you to @oliviajkirtley.bsky.social for the encouragement and @errwallace.bsky.social for starting the conversation and NetECR for, as ever, making these conversations possible!

I wanted to post as I have a feeling there are a bunch of folks in similar positions, feeling a bit abstractly nervous about pre-printing, but also wanting to be able to share work earlier than the slow machine that is academic publishing allows and also wanting to get feedback from colleagues.

It was really simple, and really speedy - and hopefully we'll be able to maximise the amount of feedback we get on it before this article goes to it's final resting place in a journal.

Now I know I'm super late to the pre-printing party, but pre-printing qualitative work wasn't at all on my radar until really recently- in my head, wrongly, I'd thought it was a quantiative research thing! So for anyone else feeling similarly nervous....

We've just pre-printed our first article with @socarxiv.bsky.social 🥳 (not our first article from this team, or this project, but our first ever pre-print!!)
