Preprints of the R-fMRI Network (PRN) is a preprint, open-access, free-submission, “peer viewed”, community funded "Jounral-like" Preprints of R-fMRI related studies. The goal of PRN is to supplement the current slow and inefficient “peer reviewed” journal publication system.

Now the PRN is hiring a part time content editor and a part time art editor.

·      Rank the activities of the consultants, re-activate inactive consultants, send gifts to the top 3 consultants each month.

·      Summarize exemplar models of interactive and collaborative public PAPER projects at My Research Network, to spur the feedback and revision of the articles, and spur the interactive and collaborative atmosphere of The R-fMRI Network (rfmri.org).

·      Raise fund for The R-fMRI Network (the $1000 compensation comes from the community contributed fund)*.

·      Help the Initiator to make the PRN articles to be indexed by Google Scholar and even by PubMed.
