Help Patients Understand Pitfalls of Preliminary Data
May 2021
The ongoing race to prevent and treat COVID-19 is raising questions about "preprint" reports and other preliminary data.
Preprints are early versions of articles posted online BEFORE peer review or editing. "Early release" or "online first" articles are different...they go through full review before publication.
