2015 was a year of the preprint. While posting manuscripts prior to peer review and journal publication has long been practiced in physics, preprints are just catching on in the biosciences. Last year, labs started universally preprinting, and preprints were billed as the solution to accelerating an ever more laborious publishing process. To give some context, PeerJ PrePrints and bioRxiv both launched in 2013. Prior to 2015, PeerJ published on average 1.2 preprints per …| Satoshi Village
