ChemRxiv (pronounced "chem archive"—the X represents the Greek letter chi [χ]) is an open access preprint archive for chemistry. [1] It is operated by the American Chemical Society, Royal Society of Chemistry [2] and German Chemical Society. [3] [4] The new preprint server was announced already in 2016, [5] [6] but was only opened online in 2017. [7] Initially, editors of ACS journals were skeptical and only 80% of the editors allowed submissions to be uploaded to the preprint server in 2017. [8] In 2019 the Chinese Chemical Society and the Chemical Society of Japan joined as co-owners of the preprint server. [9] [10]
The initial reception of ChemRxiv was one of hesitation, [6] with several major journals of the founding organizations initially unsupportive: Angewandte Chemie gave support in March 2018 [11] and JACS only gave support in August 2018. [12] However, ChemRxiv received more than 1,000 submissions in the first eighteen months., [13] growing to 2,314 in 2019. [10] Like other preprint servers, it saw a surge in COVID-19 preprints in 2020. [14]
