<p>The preprints landscape is evolving rapidly, and the full impact of sharing articles in pre-review form remains to be seen. Our interest in Open Access and Open Scholarship led us to issue an initial report on ‘<a href="https://osf.io/preprints/bitss/796tu/">The evolving preprint landscape'</a> in 2018, and we are now able to share the first output of our next stage of work in this exciting field – a slide deck detailing our findings on the practices, drivers and impediments in the use of preprints.</p>
<p>Preprints have become more widespread in a number of disciplines over the last few years, partly to counter the slow pace of the traditional publishing process and partly to allow authors to reach a broader audience. Knowledge Exchange, in collaboration with <a href="https://www.research-consulting.com/">Research Consulting</a>, has been exploring stakeholder views on this topic, focusing in particular on:</p>
<ul>
<li>the use of preprints by researchers;</li>
<li>the core benefits of using preprints for researchers;</li>
<li>the incentives and disincentives of using preprints for researchers;</li>
<li>the attitudes towards preprints by institutions and funders; and</li>
<li>the values, strategies and aims of preprint service providers.</li>
</ul>
<p>In this context, we interviewed 38 stakeholders, including researchers, research performing organisations, research funding organisations and preprint service providers, and reviewed over 60 literature sources.</p>
<p>These slides are an interim output of the research led by our Task & Finish group on preprints. We will continue to investigate the area until September 2019, when we plan to release a more detailed report unpicking the evidence gathered.</p>
