preprint server
A preprint server is a platform where researchers share their scientific work before it has undergone formal peer review and publication. It allows scientists to quickly disseminate their findings to the community, receive feedback, and establish priority for their discoveries. Preprints are openly accessible, fostering collaboration and accelerating the exchange of knowledge across fields. While they have not yet been formally validated, they play an important role in the research process by providing early access to new ideas and data.
