I would just note that a comparison with publishing in a society journal is
not apples to apples. It’s free or nearly so to the author, but the reader
requires a subscription. The comparison here was to the cost to publish
Open Access, which is typically 1500-2000 dollars. Preprints get around
that
In response:
1. The submissions are not peer-reviewed. You can post anything there.
They just screen for stuff that is offensive or "non-scientific." I
wonder what percentage are ever published.
2. I wonder who is citing these papers and where and why? If they are
not reliable resources then
