Simple estimates suggest that halving the delay to sharing a research result can double the speed at which research progresses. Ambitious research funders are now embracing preprints and other measures that aim to accelerate the pace of research.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Although there was a mixed reception in the beginning, see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencemag.org\/news\/2017\/09\/plan-new-medical-preprint-server-receives-mixed-response\">Science back in 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>MedArXiv will have a hard time attracting preprints if mainstream medical journal editors decide they won\u2019t publish final versions of the papers. Currently, <cite>The\u00a0BMJ<\/cite>\u00a0and\u00a0<cite>The Lancet<\/cite>\u00a0are among the few medical journals that have explicitly said that posting a preprint doesn\u2019t preclude publication;\u00a0<cite>Nature<\/cite>\u00a0and\u00a0<cite>Science<\/cite>, which both occasionally publish medical studies, have the same policy.
