Abstract: Preprints provide an indispensable tool for rapid and open communication of early research findings. Preprints can also be revised and improved based on scientific commentary uncoupled from journal-organised peer review. The uptake of preprints in the life sciences has increased significantly in recent years, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, when immediate access to research findings became crucial to address the global health emergency. With ongoing expansion of new preprint servers, improving discove…

“…By 2018, the number of life science preprints was growing at a rate ten times faster than that for traditional journal articles ( Levchenko et al, 2024 ). However, journal policies regarding preprints varied widely, and it was not always straightforward for authors to find out what they could do in the preprint space without compromising potential publication in their target journal.…”

“…In 2023, the proportion of life sciences research disseminated as preprints grew to 10.7%, underscoring their sustained adoption ( Levchenko et al, 2024 ). In response, eLife made a bold move in switching altogether to a model in which they would only publish ‘Reviewed Preprints’ ( Eisen et al, 2022 ; see eLife ).…”
