  It would be amazing if bioRxiv and medRxiv were included! I was curious how bioRxiv compared in usage/size to arXiv, and dug through the stats on each site. Both sites report paper download stats, and arXiv is about 12x larger (~50+ million downloads/month vs 4 million downloads/month for bioRxiv). Interestingly, the sites have grown at a similar rate. Going back to 2020, arXiv had 25+ million downloads/month and bioRxiv had ~2.1 million.

    Adding submissions stats: 1. arXiv, ~21k/month 2. bioRxiv, ~5k/month 3. medRxiv, ~1.3k/month It would be interesting to see usage of other _xiv's and other pre-print publishers!
