Abstract
In 2013 the biomedical research community saw the birth of its first preprint server, the bioRxiv (https://www.biorxiv.org/). Since then, we have witnessed both the growing of repositories dedicated to the fast and non-peerreviewed publication of scientific articles (preprint articles) and the community mind changing about the benefits (and risks!) of the immediate release of research results. It is a new scenario for biomedical and biological researchers but not for the physics research community whose arXiv physics has been publishing preprints since 1991. In view of current challenges, we may say that scientific publishing is now living under the “disruption of preprints”! For sure, the scientific publishing environment is not the same as the one we saw at the dawn of 21st century. Scientific editors must now think about two things: (i) a new concept of “publishing papers”, and (ii) how to proper (and innovatively) evaluate the contribution these freshly released papers might bring to society.
