The document discusses the challenges associated with citing preprints, particularly in the context of the growth of preprints during the COVID-19 pandemic. Issues include incomplete metadata, unclear identification of preprints, and inconsistent citation practices, which hinder proper citation. Recommendations are provided for improving preprint citations and integration with peer-reviewed articles, emphasizing the need for clear indicators and updated citation standards.

- 2. Preprint growth COVID-19 created an explosion of preprints an explosion in citations to preprints “Posting” is moving faster than peer review and publishing
- 3. Why are preprint citations challenging? Preprint servers don’t always identify content as preprints Recommended citations may be incomplete Author citations are frequently incomplete Incomplete metadata makes citation completion and verification challenging
- 4. Preprint servers don’t always identify content as not peer-reviewed What we want: What we sometimes see:
- 5. Problems when content is not identified as peer-reviewed Published on 4/13/21 at https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/zoom-fatigue-may-be-with- us-for-years-heres-how-well-cope Links to: Is it a preprint? How can we tell?
- 6. Recommended citations on preprint servers don’t indicate preprint status Top 3 recommended citations from OSF Preprints: Is it a preprint? How can we tell?
- 7. Recommended citations on preprint servers may not include a DOI Suggested citation from OSF Preprints:
- 8. Authors’ preprint citations often don’t include a DOI Examples of real-world author-submitted preprint citations:
- 9. Recommendations for preprint citations Update recommended citations, journal style guides, reference managers, and author instructions for preprint citations to always include these elements: Author/s Date of posting Preprint title Preprint server name “Preprint” indicator DOI
- 10. Example of a “Good” preprint citation From the AMA Manual of Style: 1. Bloss CS, Wineinger NE, Peters M, et al. A prospective randomized trial examining health care utilization in individuals using multiple smartphone-enabled biosensors. bioRxiv. Preprint posted online October 28, 2015. doi:10.1101/029983

- 15. Preprint metadata may not indicate withdrawn status Preprint on bioRxiv: But … Crossref provides no system to indicate withdrawn status in metadata.
- 16. Our recommendations for preprints Clearly identify non-peer-reviewed content at all stages NISO: Create PIE-J-type recommended practice for preprints Update citation styles to include all recommended elements Implement metadata integrations and common workflows to ensure that preprints are: treated as a unique citation type promptly updated with publication status never replaced with the published version never deposited to Crossref as journal articles Create systems to automatically link published articles with their preprints identify withdrawn preprints
