Preprints are an established component for the early communication of research results in the physical sciences community and have rapidly gained visibility in the life sciences and other adjacent fields, with the exception of chemistry. Until now. Last Fall, the American Chemical Society announced its intention to build a chemistry-specific preprint server, working in partnership with other scientific societies and organizations. This presentation will review the rationale for establishing a chemistry preprint server and provide an update on the launch plans for ChemRxiv.
