Hi all - first off, thank you for making it harder for our government to conduct virtual book burnings. I'm not a regular on this sub, but I am a health sciences researcher. I was wondering about biorxiv and medrxiv, the preprint servers. With the latest banned terms from the US government and the demands to retract papers even if they've been accepted to journals, if they are posted on preprint servers, that would be one way to have a copy before they are officially published/retracted. Would it be helpful to backup things there, or are biorxiv and medrxiv considered sufficiently backed up themselves?
