• Submission to Preprint Servers

             Penultimate drafts of manuscripts fully approved by P&P and the Steering Committee may be concurrently submitted to a journal and uploaded to a preprint server.

             Revision of approved manuscripts based on feedback from the preprint is the same as that of revisions made as a result of journal reviewer feedback; unless such   modifications  will significantly impact the previously approved analyses, or cause the paper to potentially overlap with another CHS paper, no further CHS or NHLBI review is necessary.  However, CHS does appreciate notification of such changes to the CHS Publications Committee via your online record, including an uploaded copy of the revised manuscript.
