#PreprintReads vs. preprints of the same ageScore ⓘReads in the period ÷ the reads of a typical preprint posted around the same time. 3× = three times the typical reads. Full explanation at the bottom of the page.Days since posting

Rank over time

Monthly rank among all tracked new preprints by that month's score: full-text + PDF reads ÷ the reads of a typical preprint of the same age (at least days online that month). Lower is better.

New preprints get most of their reads right after posting, so raw reads would mostly reward recency. Preprints are therefore ranked by an age-adjusted score: full-text views + PDF downloads in the period (abstract views are left out) ÷ the reads expected for a preprint of the same age. The expectation, month by month, is the median reads per day of all tracked preprints posted within ± days of it, times its days online. A score of 3× means three times the reads of a typical preprint of the same age. A preprint needs at least days online in the period to be ranked. bioRxiv reports usage per calendar month, so periods are whole months. Timeframes use complete months only; in the by-month view the current month counts up to the latest data. Click a paper to see its rank over time.
