Abstract
Preprints benefit researchers’ careers in a number of ways. They allow authors to control the timing of dissemination of their work and provide early evidence of productivity that can be cited in job applications, grant proposals and reviews for tenure and other awards. The practice of posting preprint manuscripts on servers such as bioRxiv has become increasingly common. In this Comment, Hindle and Sever explore the utility of preprints for advancing researchers careers.
