Welcome to paleorXiv!

This is the companion website to the main paleorXiv portal.

paleorXiv is a free, open source and community-led digital archive for Paleontology research. We provide a non-profit platform for paleontologists to upload their working papers, pre-prints, accepted manuscripts (post-prints), and published papers. We also provide options to link data and code, and for article versioning. PaleorXiv is dedicated to speeding and opening up paleontological research and helping to build the future of scholarly communication.

• Follow us on Twitter.
• A database of self-archiving ('Green Open Access') policies for journals that publish Paleontology research can be found here.
• Please also see our Diversity Statement and Code of Conduct.
