抄録

Preprints are non-peer-reviewed and publicly available articles for open and transparent research communication. Preprint repositories or servers often facilitate the submission of such manuscripts, and despite the presence of established preprint servers, their numbers have continued to rise in recent times. A steep increasing tendency in posted preprints and their accommodating repositories has been seen in the last decade. In this article, we explored the current dynamics of global trends and development in the growing preprint landscape and its involvement in promoting open and transparent research findings across various domains. We further emphasized the relevance of preprinting, highlighting its significant impact during the pandemic through effective information sharing, and advocate for its wider adoption in scholarly communication.
