The increased role of preprint servers in COVID-19 research

  • The preprint servers began to play a much larger role since the pandemic when the research community is ever more in need for sharing findings and results.
  • The above highlights certain concerns and criticisms that preprint servers received even before the pandemic, one of which is the absence of "peer-preview" process.
  • If the lack of peer-review process were to result in unsound science, it is far more consequential for the COVID-19 research for the research directly touches on a matter of life and death. -There is an inevitable risk associated with non-peer reviewed papers such as the ones in preprint servers for being not peer-reviewed. -Because fast dissemination is critical, but the traditional publication takes time, more researchers are utilizing the preprint servers, which, in some cases, advertising their papers via social media –(i.e.) Twitter.
