Olivia Guest | Ολίβια Γκεστ added,
My attempts to raise this concern have been received poorly. And yet my experience is that preprints are sometimes/often ignored.
I totally agree with concern. But I think in era of google, "preprints are ignored" is a hard conclusion to reach (and probably erroneous).
the strongest conclusion to me is "posting a preprint lacks obvious and immediate benefits to the authors in the form of feedback."
But isn't this only a problem if you see pre-prints as an alternative, not compliment, to traditional peer review via journals..?
agreed. I think I'm out for the day on this topic, tweeps; gotta go grantsmyship.
A compliment implies you can use it to get more PR, right? But if most ppl get no feedback/comments then it's a false promise?
If only research institutions had weekly #preprintJCs where the group submitted comments and reviews... #asapbio
Even so, wouldn't the deck be hugely stacked in favor of big/famous labs in terms of what gets discussed?
Perhaps true, but, at least now, there aren't that many preprints in my field so for #preprintJC we run out of "big names" quickly.
Interesting — which sub-area is that?
Because if it's broadly neuroscience I don't believe you! 
There's like 2-3 new neuro-themed preprints just on my TL every week!
