One reason that people bring up for why they don't preprint is that they're worried that, because of their preprint, they'll be "scooped" in a peer-reviewed journal. I am someone to whom this actually happened... so, friends, I have ~thoughts~.

Preprints have made my lab's science better, and the response to our own preprints has also improved our science. Preprints accelerate science. Preprints are one of the best things to have ever happened to science. Publishing preprints is the right thing to do.

And here's the thing... Someone may scoop us again. Sure. But in my book, if someone wants to be a jerk and scoop us because of our preprint, that's on them, not me.

In conclusion: preprint; cite preprints; and don't be a jerk.

If the work being published is truly important, then getting it out is there all that truly matters, right? Being “scooped” in a journal more widely published is just the means to the end. Just a thought from someone not in academia...

That’s a great point. I think where some of the worry and stress comes from is that academics also need to get grants, jobs, promotions... and that *can* influence how people think about publishing.
