Preprints, non-peer-reviewed drafts of manuscripts available on the Internet, have been used in conjunction with peer review and publication in journals in the physical sciences for almost 25 years. Recently, more scientists have been discussing whether preprints can play a similar role in biological and biomedical research. Here, I discuss my excitement and concerns about the role that preprints can play in disseminating research findings in the life sciences.
预印本是在互联网上可获取的未经同行评审的手稿草稿，在物理科学领域与同行评审及期刊发表相结合使用已有近25年历史。最近，越来越多的科学家开始讨论预印本在生物学和生物医学研究中是否能发挥类似作用。在此，我将探讨我对预印本在生命科学研究成果传播中所起作用的兴奋之情与担忧。
