What are preprints?

Preprints facilitate rapid communication of a manuscript containing scientific results from one scientist, or a a group of scientists, to the entire scientific community.

This video produced in collaboration with ASAPbio (Accelerating Science and Publication in biology) explains what preprints are, their benefits, how they differ from journal publications, and how scientists can use both mechanisms to communicate their work.
