Preprints

Warning

A preprint is an early-stage research paper not yet peer-reviewed or published in a scientific journal. Findings should be considered preliminary, may contain errors, and could change substantially in the final published version. While preprints promote rapid scientific exchange, they should not be cited as established scientific fact, reported as definitive in news media, or used to guide clinical decisions without appropriate context.
