“…Their study only used papers with preprints published in PLoS One, and the authors acknowledged the need to validate their findings in a broader range of journals. Their another study compared the acceptance time of papers with and without preprints in 119 journals (Tsunoda et al, 2022). They found that papers with preprints published in 29 journals had significantly shorter acceptance time than those without preprints.…”

Preprints are becoming increasingly vital in scientific communication. This study aims to investigate whether preprints offer any advantages regarding acceptance time for researchers, based on the characteristics of early accessibility and peer feedback through preprints. We employ regression analysis to compare the acceptance time difference between manuscripts with preprints and those without preprints submitted to the same journal in the same year and month. The findings reveal that manuscripts that had preprints released before submission experienced significantly shorter acceptance times than those submitted to the same journal in the same month and year without preprints. However, this advantage did not persist when preprints were posted after submission.

“…Moreover, studies have shown that the peer review duration for papers shared as preprints is further reduced if authors opt to publish them as preprints before submitting them to journals (Tsunoda, et al, 2022). Preprints have proliferated since the COVID-19 pandemic, and the number of journal papers initially disseminated as preprints has also increased (Gianola, et al, 2020).…”

Preprints have played an unprecedented role in disseminating COVID-19-related science results to the public. The study aims to elucidate the role of preprints during the COVID-19 public health emergency (2020-2023) through a quantitative analysis of journal papers. Among the 247,854 COVID-19-related papers published in PubMed, 12,152 were initially released as preprints and were eventually published in 1,380 journals. This number is more than five times the 246 journals to which submissions can be made directly from bioRxiv through the B2J program. Journals with higher impact factors and Normalized Eigenfactor scores tend to publish a larger number of preprint-derived articles. The proportion of preprints among PubMed papers was 0.049, but this varies significantly by journal. In the top 30 journals, most exceed this proportion, indicating that these journals are preferred by authors for submitting their work. These findings highlight the growing acceptance and impact of preprints in the scientific community, particularly in high-impact journals.
