> Preprints are preliminary reports of work that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
It's annoying when news websites report on research that isn't reviewed. It's been happening at an increasing rate over the last few years because these news websites are so hungry for advertising revenue. It undermines the public's trust in science. It threatens our ability to do research openly and inclusively.
