Analysis of 70,000 studies suggests preprints are reliable

A new analysis of over 70,000 studies found that preprints and peer-reviewed papers have similar rates of errors, challenging the common perception that preprints are less reliable. Researchers compared error rates and found no significant difference, suggesting preprints can be a trustworthy source of scientific information. This could accelerate the use of preprints in decision-making and policy.
