The importance of a preprint repository

lkfitz's bookmarks 2016-09-29

Summary:

"To conclude, preprint archives allow presentation of detailed results in conferences, and follow-up submissions to journals, without the possibility of a charge of self-plagiarism. They also protect against unethical attempts to usurp priority of ideas or results. Finally, as shown by three examples involving Indian groups, a preprint archive allows correction for unethical attempts to usurp credit by ignoring earlier work. Thus we should create national preprint repositories."
