A modern preprint submission is a style of scholarly publication in which pre-reviewed manuscripts are uploaded on the web. With emerging trends to solve inherent problems of the current peer-review system, open science policy, and rapid sharing of academic research in the coronavirus disaster, the preprint submission is attracting more and more attention. ChemRxiv is a chemical preprint server that was launched in 2017. The number of preprint submissions is expected to increase in the Japanese chemical community. In this article, an overview of preprints is firstly introduced, then the future of academic publishing and research communication in this preprint era is discussed.
