[[List of preprint repositories|Preprint repositories]], like [[arXiv]], [[bioRxiv]], [[medRxiv]], ''[[PeerJ Preprints]]'', ''[[Preprints.org]]'', and [[SSRN]] contain papers that have undergone moderation, but not necessarily [[Scholarly peer review|peer review]]. There is consensus that preprints are [[WP:SPS|self-published source]]s, and are generally unreliable with the exception of papers authored by established [[subject-matter expert]]s. Verify whether a preprint paper has been published in a peer-reviewed [[academic journal]]; in these cases, cite the more reliable journal and provide an [[open access]] link to the paper (which may be hosted on the preprint repository). See also [[WP:SPSPREPRINT]].
