Quote from linker article:

Benefits of preprint publishing for researchers

    Speed: Preprint publishing is fast, especially when compared with traditional journals.
    Citable outputs: Preprint platforms, such as PsyArXiv, assign persistent identifiers like DOIs, making preprints fully citable.
    Early credit: Preprints help researchers, especially those early in their career, demonstrate productivity and establish precedence.
    Improving access: Posting a preprint increases accessibility by making an open access version of the work available.
    Foundation for peer review: Preprints provide an opportunity for early feedback and can be peer-reviewed through platforms such as Review Commons and PREreview.
    Documentation and verification: Versioning, timestamps, and persistent identifiers provide a transparent record of the publication.
