News outlets vary widely in how they cover the "Wild West" of Covid-19 preprint studies » Nieman Journalism Lab

May 15, 2020Communication about the unreviewed and preliminary nature of Covid-19–related preprint studies remains widely inconsistent among online media outlets, according to a new study published in the journal Health Communication.
Researchers looked for specific keywords in their analysis among news outlets including The New York Times, Medscape, and Business Insider and found that while a little over half used at least one phrase to indicate the study was a preprint or that the findings were unreviewed or preliminary, the rest didn’t make that distinction.
“[The pandemic] has shown us how important accurate and engaging coverage of science can be, but it’s also shown us how challenging it can be,” says Alice Fleerackers, a researcher at Simon Fraser University’s Scholarly Communications Lab and a coauthor of the new study. “In this paper, we’re encouraging people to start having those conversations and come up with best practices that are going to help journalists cover this research responsibly.”

Majority of media stories fail to label 'preprint' COVID-19 research -- study

E-Mail
A new SFU-led study finds that about half of media stories in early 2020 featuring COVID-19 "preprint" research--research that has not yet been peer-reviewed--accurately framed the studies as being preprints or unverified research.
SFU PhD student Alice Fleerackers, a researcher in the Scholarly Communications Lab, and publishing program professor Juan Pablo Alperin collaborated with an international team of researchers to analyze more than 500 mentions in over 450 stories from digital news outlets covering preprint COVID-19 research. The study was published this week in
Health Communication.
Their analysis is based on 100 COVID-19 preprints posted on top-ranked preprint servers medRxiv and bioRxiv from January 1 to April 30, 2020.
