JST (Japan Science and Technology Agency), one of Japan’s prominent funders of research in science and the agency hosting J-STAGE journal and J-STAGE Data platforms, announces the launch of its preprint server Jxiv on March 24. As preprints globally become more acceptable as one of the forms of publication of research, Jxiv has been launched to give researchers across Japan the opportunity of publishing their preprints in a local server, both in Japanese and English.
