Indian Open Preprint System (IOPS) [Hindi: भारतीय ओपन प्रीप्रिंट सिस्टम (आईओपीएस)] is an innovative platform designed to facilitate the rapid dissemination of research findings across various disciplines in India. This system allows researchers to share their work with the academic community and the public before undergoing formal peer review.
By providing an open-access forum for early-stage research, the Indian Open Preprint System aims to enhance collaboration, foster transparency, and accelerate the pace of scientific discovery. They serve as crucial repositories where scholars can access cutting-edge research, receive feedback, and refine their work, ultimately contributing to the advancement of knowledge and the scientific community in India and beyond.
