8. I have a problem with the citation of preprints because they are not peer reviewed. How do you know you are citing work correctly? True, preprints are not peer reviewed in a journal-organized manner. However, PREreview and other similar efforts have been trying to increase the community feedback on preprints such that the peer review process happens openly and is endorsed by a larger pool of scientists in order to improve the ‘final’ product. One  way to ‘correctly’ cite a preprint is by checking the soundness of the science involved and determining whether it is an appropriate paper to cite for your purposes, just as you would do when citing peer-reviewed work. Also, there is no guarantee that an article published in a journal is a) the right one to cite in your context and b) that the results you are citing are correct.
