Is preprinting failing?

Published 30 Mar 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] So we sit roughly around 11% of the biomedical literature is associated with a preprint. This is according to European C data. By all means, that might not be complete in terms of linking. So this number is not absolute, but it is very similar to the number the year before and the year before that. This has kind of flatlined as an adoption. And I would say this really is good evidence that preprinting is stalling. It does depend on fields though. And that's another question to really address is how are different fields responding to pre-printing? And again, actually for the most part, most fields appear to have stalled in their adoption of pre-prints. […]
