The prehistory of biology preprints: A forgotten experiment from the 1960s

https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.2003995

“In 1961, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) began to circulate biological preprints in a forgotten experiment called the Information Exchange Groups (IEGs). This system eventually attracted over 3,600 participants and saw the production of over 2,500 different documents, but by 1967, it was effectively shut down following the refusal of journals to accept articles that had been circulated as preprints. “
