In general or in psychology specifically? Because in computer science it's basically all papers...

I should have specified more, yes. But interesting to hear it varies by field, I did not even expect that.

Economics also is very preprint heavy with papers staying "unpublished" (by a journal) for years and getting tons of cites as preprints before they are even published.

Maybe I'm having trouble with reading comprehension!
Do you mean "version before peer review" is the static version with no updates after a round of review?1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes -

Some say if it's changed it is not a preprint any more, yes. (And some journals have corresponding restrictions or embargoes)

I tend to update my preprints after I get rejected (so not publication) and have made changes.

Oh that would still be included under my reading. So maybe "before review at 'last' journal"?

... which is uncomfortably accommodating to journals instead of good science (i.e. sharing the best version of the paper).

I feel like we compromise so much in peer review that it's become worthless in most cases.
Which is not to say PR has no value, but the current way we do it seems to be suboptimal.

I do like to think it improves clarity, in some cases at least...
