preprints
Pre-peer-review papers
Preprints are research papers shared publicly before formal peer review and journal publication.
Scientists post preprints to establish priority, get early feedback, and speed dissemination of findings: The COVID vaccine research first appeared as preprints.
Preprint servers like arXiv and bioRxiv host these preliminary versions, which may later be revised for journal submission.
