Pre-Publication Support Service (PREPSS) is a global initiative dedicated to increasing the visibility and publication success of underrepresented and early-career researchers, particularly those in low- and middle-income countries. Recognizing that many researchers face structural barriers to publishing, such as limited access to mentorship and writing training, PREPSS provides tailored resources to help bridge these gaps.
Through a combination of writing workshops and manuscript peer review, PREPSS supports authors in transforming their research into publishable manuscripts. PREPSS partners with research teams, academic institutions, and journals around the world to promote equitable research dissemination and representation in global health research.
By empowering researchers who are often excluded from the academic publishing process, PREPSS aims to foster a more inclusive research community that reflects the global distribution of knowledge, needs, and perspectives.
