What can you expect if you opt in?
The editorial and peer review process will continue through the peer review systems as usual. You can use In Review to access up-to-date information on where your article is in the peer review process.
The system will also immediately post a preprint of your manuscript to the In Review section of Research Square, in easy-to-read HTML, and with a citeable DOI. There, it will become a permanent part of the scholarly record—that means that your manuscript will permanently remain publicly available, regardless of whether the journal you submitted it to accepts it or not. (The FAQ has more details about the mechanics of how this works.)
