I’m not sure how much an an insurgency this represents. Biologists
have been going this route on a regular basis for several years now,
and bioRxiv contains roughly 3,000 papers. The idea that a “handful”
of them have suddenly “gone rogue” by placing their preprints online
seems to be the product of an overexcitable NYT reporter’s
imagination.
