Our Take

Sciety solves the core preprint problem — is this unreviewed paper any good? — by gathering public evaluations and curation statements from expert groups into one place, so you can check whether a preprint has been assessed before you rely on it. For journalists, analysts, and journal clubs it’s the quickest confidence check on early findings, and the follow feed makes ongoing monitoring easy. Coverage is limited to preprints that evaluating groups have actually reviewed, so absence of a statement isn’t a verdict. Use it to tier confidence in a preprint-based brief; combine with the source and a citation check for anything you’ll publish.

Power Tips

  • Before relying on a preprint, check Sciety for curation statements indicating expert evaluation (Issue 4)
  • in a two-tier brief, use Sciety to separate “evaluated, higher-confidence” preprints from “unreviewed, flag to verify” (Issue 4).
