Editing Preprint (section)

===Tenure and promotion===
In academia, preprints are not likely to be weighed heavily when a scholar is evaluated for tenure or promotion, unless the preprint becomes the basis for a peer-reviewed publication.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Callaway|first1=Ewen|last2=Powell|first2=Kendall|date=2016-02-18|title=Biologists urged to hug a preprint|journal=Nature|volume=530|issue=7590|pages=265|doi=10.1038/530265a|pmid=26887471|bibcode=2016Natur.530..265C|doi-access=free}}</ref>

Some important results in mathematics have been published only on the preprint server [[arXiv]].<ref name="auto1">{{citation|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/01/AR2010070106247.html|title=Russian mathematician wins $1 million prize, but he appears to be happy with $0|newspaper=Washington Post|date=July 2, 2010|first=Marc|last=Kaufman}}</ref><ref>Nadejda Lobastova and Michael Hirst, [http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/maths-genius-living-in-poverty/2006/08/20/1156012411120.html "Maths genius living in poverty"], Sydney Morning Herald, August 21, 2006</ref> After nearly a century of effort by mathematicians, [[Grigori Perelman]] published a series of preprint papers on the [[arXiv]] between 2002 and 2003, in which he presented a proof of the [[Poincaré conjecture]].<ref name="perelman200211">{{cite arXiv|author=Perelman, Grisha|title=The entropy formula for the Ricci flow and its geometric applications|eprint = math.DG/0211159|date=November 11, 2002}}</ref><ref name="perelman200303">{{cite arXiv|author=Perelman, Grisha|title=Ricci flow with surgery on three-manifolds|eprint=math.DG/0303109 | date = 10 March 2003}}</ref><ref name="perelman200307">{{cite arXiv|author=Perelman, Grisha|title=Finite extinction time for the solutions to the Ricci flow on certain three-manifolds|eprint= math.DG/0307245|date=July 17, 2003}}</ref> He was offered both the $1 million [[Millennium Prize Problems|Millennium Prize]] and the [[Fields Medal]] for the result, but he declined both prizes.<ref name="auto1"/>
