Preprints with Provenance
In a world where AI can write papers, transparency isn't optional.

Preprint Server Launching Soon
We're building a preprint server where trust is built-in. Every submission receives a DOI and includes a transparency report documenting the complete writing process.
Science Needs a New Standard of Trust
In an era where AI can generate entire manuscripts, traditional peer review is no longer sufficient. We can't tell if a paper was written by a human or a machine—unless we track the writing process from the start.
From Draft to DOI
A seamless journey from writing to publication. Open peer review where you choose your reviewers—human experts, automated analysis, or both.
Write
Author in the editor. Your writing history builds automatically.
Verify
Transparency report generated automatically. You review it before publishing.
Review (Optional)
Our matching system suggests reviewers. You decide if and when to request feedback.
Publish & Track
Get a citable DOI. We track citations and keep you updated on your work's impact.
Community Review
Review happens directly in First Author—no external tools, no complicated submission portals. Reviewers comment inline, authors respond, all in one place.
Automated Analysis
Instant feedback from specialized analysis tools. Check statistics, validate references, assess reproducibility—before or alongside human review.
Become an AI Partner
First Author Preprints is building an open ecosystem for AI-assisted peer review. Integrate your specialized analysis models and help shape the future of scientific validation.
Integration opportunities
Become a model provider
We provide API access, documentation, and dedicated support for integration partners.
Journal Discovery
Journals can opt in to receive automated recommendations when we identify manuscripts that match their scope. Our models analyze fit based on topic, methodology, and journal history—so the right papers reach the right editors.
Publish Your Preprint
Submit your verified manuscript. Your transparency report and authorship score are accessible to editors.
Express Interest
Editors identify preprints that match their scope and send non-binding expressions of interest to authors.
Efficient Matching
Authors find the right journal faster. Journals access high-quality, verified manuscripts early.
