I sent yesterday a paper to such journala journal of springer publisher Springer for consideration, in the same time I have got a new free distribution service and an open-access called research squareResearch Square seems. It looks like arXIVArxiv; it is not a peer-reviewed and make resarchmakes research available in a fast way. Now I want to know: should I withdraw my paper from that research square seriviceservice since I sent it to a journal for review, or should I leave it there for comments to improve my paper in the future ? Is what I did ethical? More than that, I want to know the difference between that research squareResearch Square and Arxiv?.
