Preprint Policy

Within the framework of NV0987 – Visual Systems Research Network, published materials may include preprints and ongoing research works.

A preprint is a research text that is made publicly available prior to formal academic peer review. Its purpose is to support early idea sharing, open scholarly dialogue, and timely access to theoretical and conceptual research.

Preprints published on this platform are not considered final publications. Authors retain full copyright over their work and remain free to publish revised or expanded versions in academic journals, edited volumes, or other scholarly venues.

Each preprint is published with a clearly indicated date and, where applicable, a version number. The platform does not intervene in the substantive content of the texts and serves solely an editorial, archival, and dissemination function.
