Abstract:

News stories mentioning COVID-related preprints published in bioRxiv and medRxiv between January and April 2020 from the 15 outlets that mentioned the most preprints during this time period (as determined by Altmetric.com). Each mention was qualitatively coded for various markers of uncertainty (or uncertainty framing devices) and stories were classified by type, as per the codebook.
