Overview

Documents barriers in preprint repositories that limit intellectual diversity, stifling scientific progress.

Key Points

  • This research examines how preprint repositories hinder the inclusion of diverse scientific perspectives, particularly independent research.
  • Analysis of three major preprint repositories: arXiv, HAL, and PhilSci-Archive.
  • Documentation of systemic exclusion patterns based on institutional affiliations and publication requirements.
  • Independent research and verified doctoral graduates experience significant exclusion from leading repositories.
  • The lack of formal credentials results in the complete erasure of voices, diminishing cognitive diversity.
  • The findings suggest that this academic uniformity severely hinders scientific progress.
