Are preprint servers a blessing or a curse for scientific research? F. Perry Wilson comments on potential implications for public health. MedTwitter medicalresearch
Cards on the table: I've got mixed feelings about preprint servers likewhen the results may have major impact for public health, is laudable. But I always wonder if the quality of the research suffers for that lack of oversight.True story: I submitted the results of a randomized trial to a journal, which shall remain nameless, on July 8, 2022. It was sent for peer review and I was asked to respond to reviewer comments on November 30, 2022 — 145 days later.
In the COVID era, preprint server usage — particularly medRxiv, which tends to publish clinical research studies — exploded. The public health need was clear: We needed data fast, not a year after initial submission.
The authors basically identified three categories of preprint abstracts: those that never got published in peer-reviewed journals; those that did eventually get published; and then the official published abstracts. When individual preprint abstracts were compared with their peer-reviewed counterparts, in general the peer-reviewed abstracts were considered to have more completeness of scientific communication and less spin overall. But see those big beige areas here? These are pairs of preprint and published abstracts that were no different with regard to spin — the majority, really. Again, to me this reads as more damning of peer review than preprint servers.Some caveats here.
