Abstract

Pre-publications (preprints) have grown notably in recent months, driven by the demands of the COVID-19 pandemic. They provide solutions to some gaps in traditional peer-reviewed publications, but they are not without unwanted effects. A review is made of the subject, the advantages and disadvantages and future challenges.
