PRN

PRN provides preprint dissemination and open peer commentary for early-stage resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (R-fMRI) and neuroscience research.

Key Features:

• Scope: Focuses on resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (R-fMRI) and related neuroscience research.
• Open discussion and feedback: Enables public commentary and constructive feedback from the scientific community and a panel of invited R-fMRI consultants.
• Complement to peer review: Facilitates early communication of results and incorporation of community feedback prior to formal peer-reviewed publication.

Scientific Applications:

• Early dissemination: Allows sharing of preliminary results, methodologies, and analyses in R-fMRI to solicit community input.
• Research improvement and collaboration: Supports refinement of study design, analysis approaches, and interpretation relevant to studies of human mental health.

Methodology:

Manuscripts are submitted and exposed to public commentary by the scientific community and invited consultants, and authors iteratively integrate feedback into revised manuscripts.
