“…Evidence from the literature supports the interpretation that citations added during review are less likely to be substantive, leaving early stage references with a proportionately higher level of these. This is because biomedical articles do not change much during the review process, leaving little scope for this stage of biomedical science communication to effect change ( 48 52 ). Over 80% of bioRxiv authors self-report posting preprints before receiving reviews ( 50 ).…”
