In this episode, we discuss the ever-growing interest in pre-prints. What are they, why do they exist, who uses them and for what.  We are joined by a guest - the author of the paper we discuss in the podcast and the Twitter chat (https://twitter.com/i/events/1402484698169765888?s=20) - Johnny Coats. You can read the paper he and his collaborators wrote on the role of pre-prints in the dissemination of COVID-19 research for free in the journal PLOS One here (https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.3000959).
