Abstract
Since 1991, preprints have increasingly been distributed over the Internet, as opposed to paper copies. Preprints date back to at least the early 1960s, when the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States began circulating preprints in the biological sciences. After six years, journals stopped accepting submissions shared via these channels. Then, in 2017, the Medical Research Council and the Wellcome Trust began accepting citations of preprints in grant and fellowship applications [1], [2].
