Preprints Should not be Cited
Preprints represent a crude document providing information that has yet to be critically scrutinized by peers. Usually approved for publication within as little as 24 h after initial screening by an advisory board member, preprints represent a quick-and-easy way to publish raw data. Although one of the objectives of preprints is to allow the wider public and academic peer pool to offer critique on that raw document, in most cases, authors who publish preprints usually go on to submit the same to a regular journal, thus passing it through traditional peer review.
