How to Partner with PREPSS
PREPSS is pleased to offer training, peer review, and copy editing services to affiliated authors from partner organizations. To partner with PREPSS, please contact PREPSS Editor-in-Chief Dr. Ella August at eaugust@umich.edu.
How our Services Work
PREPSS does not receive funding from the University of Michigan and is 100% supported financially by our clients. There is no cost to individual authors from partner institutions to receive PREPSS services. Organizations interested in partnering with us may request language for grant applications to seek external funding for PREPSS services.
As part of PREPSS commitment to research and publication ethics, volunteer peer reviewers are not permitted to join authors team on manuscripts they review. We also follow the Center for Disease Control's guidelines for ethical photography and videography.
Options to Customize
Both full and limited services are available from PREPSS to meet your organization's specific needs. For instance, some of our partners receive authorship and data visualization training, but not manuscript development support. Other partners have received a multi-day authorship training workshop and full manuscript development services (peer review and professional copy editing).
Free Resources
On our website, PREPSS offers resources available to all interested researchers, regardless of whether they are from participating institutions. These resources support authors in scientific writing and navigating the journal submission process. Our suite of free authorship resources can be used in manuscript development. These resources include annotated cover letter examples to journals, example responses to reviewers, writing checklists, poster templates, journal submission tutorials, and guides to other topics in scholarly publishing. This portion of our website is updated as we develop new tutorials and resources.
