Abstract: The scientific publishing process is broken. The time it takes to publish and the amount of data required are increasing year on year. More recently government bodies from both the US and EU have released statements declaring that scientific research should be free to post and access. Although there are many different open access approaches to address these issues, preprints perhaps offer the best solution. Preprints are manuscripts shared online prior to journal organised peer review. In the life sciences, preprints have been on the rise since the launch of bioRxiv in 2013. During the COVID-19 pandemic, science underwent a cultural shift with 25% of the research being first shared as a preprint. This lecture will provide an overview of the preprint landscape and outline the role of preprints as the future of scientific publishing.
