Can you cite a pre print?

How should I cite a preprint in a journal publication? Most journals allow citation of preprints in the reference list of the article in question, similar to journal articles.

A reference citation for a preprint should include the following items:

Authors should not assign copyright during the preprint process; authors should retain copyright in their work when posting to a preprint server.

Does arXiv give DOI?

arXiv users may also add DOIs to their papers during the submission process or add it to an already submitted paper by adding a journal reference.

When do you cite yourself in a paper?

As strange as it may seem, you are committing self-plagiarism if you reuse your work from previous classes or degrees without appropriate citation. If you have made a point or conducted research in one paper that you would like to build on in a later paper, you must cite yourself, just as you would cite the work of others.
