This study examines the relation between acceptance times in preprint publishing and journal publishing. Specifically, we investigated the association between a paper's posting time to bioRχiv, a preprints server, and journal articles' peer-review and acceptance time for PLOS ONE. So far, of the total papers published in 1,626 academic journals, the average publication rate of those posted in bioRχiv is 40.67%. Meanwhile, PLOS ONE was the journal that published more papers. Analysis of peer-review and acceptance time of papers published in journals via preprints showed the time these papers are posted in relation to these intervals. The median of the peer-review and acceptance time of the journal submission date that was later than the date of first posting to bioRχiv was 110.00 days, and in the reverse case, it was 139.50 days. Posting to the preprint server before journal submission shows a better order than vice versa. This study provides us a good understanding of the peer-review process. It also gives us good insights into optimizing this process, which would then facilitate paper publication and knowledge dissemination.

bioRχiv对PLOS ONE的同行评审和接受时间的影响

本研究考察了预印本出版和期刊出版中接受时间之间的关系。具体来说，我们调查了论文到bioRχiv（预印本服务器）的投稿时间与期刊文章对PLOS ONE的同行评审和接受时间之间的关联。到目前为止，在1,626种学术期刊上发表的论文总数中，在bioRiv中发表的论文的平均发表率为40.67％。同时，PLOS ONE是发表更多论文的期刊。通过预印本发表在期刊上的论文的同行评审和接受时间的分析显示，这些论文的发布时间与间隔时间有关。期刊提交日期的同行评审和接受时间的中位数晚于首次发布到bioRiv的日期，其中值为110.00天，反之则为139.50天。反之，在日记帐提交之前将其发布到预印服务器显示出更好的顺序。这项研究使我们对同行评审过程有了很好的了解。它还为我们提供了有关优化此过程的深刻见解，这将有助于论文发表和知识传播。
