I don't think we're going to agree on the quality of this paper, which is perfectly fine and a normal part of science. Two things: > I don't think this is that unusual since I see plenty of references to publications in press in papers I read - econ papers spend years as preprints This isn't normal in biology. It's a stance that researchers are trying to change (see http://biorxiv.org/ http://biorxiv.org/, notably), however. > I don't see any such claim. I think you are again confusing different stages of storage and revival. At a molecular level, the two processes may work differently (we don't, of course, have the SafeSpeed protocol). However, the article states: "During this time, it is necessary to allow 30-45 minutes for vitrification processes, 15-30 minutes for slow freezing processes, and 24 hours for all processes to safely recover and verify the survival of the worms"
