Preprints

Preprints: speed that requires a thinking reader

A preprint is a public paper before review. It is not less valuable — only less verified. The difference is that the reader must carry part of the checking.

SCENA ZNANOSTI — Preprints
Network notice. This is an independent edition inside the GNK ASG network. The main site is gnk-asg.hr; the list of all editions is at gnk-asg.hr/en/network. The publisher is AKTUAL MEDIA d.o.o., and every text in the network is listed at AKTUAL MEDIA — network of editions. Editor and director: Nermin Sefić.

The desk does not run research or peer-review papers. It carries published documents and marks what is peer-reviewed and what is not.

01What a preprint gives

Speed, openness and the chance to find an error before it reaches a textbook. arXiv launched in 1991 and has since changed how physics and mathematics communicate.

02What a preprint does not give

It does not confirm review, nor that anyone independently examined the data. That is why this desk always calls a preprint a preprint, and cites the reviewed version separately.

  • Label the genre: preprint or reviewed paper
  • Check the version and date
  • Check whether it later appeared in a journal
  • Never repeat a conclusion without the method

Questions that keep coming back

Can a preprint be dangerous?

It can if it is reported as confirmed fact. The paper itself is not dangerous; the label a reader or outlet attaches to it is.
