What are preprint repositories
Preprint repositories contain scientific articles that haven't been peer reviewed yet. The repositories can be either subject based or multidisciplinary. They may also contain other additional material such as data associated with an article.
Many publishers and funders have also launched their own preprint repositories (e.g. F1000 Research, Gates Open Research, Lancet, MDPI, Peer J, Springer Natue, Wellcome and Wiley).
