As an alternative to requesting traditional formal evaluation of their preprint that could potentially be used by a journal, authors can request informal guidance on how to further develop and improve the impact of their study before journal submissi...

Since the kickoff, it was affirmed that the model we have developed is applicable to a large number of the use cases that were presented at the ASAPbio sprint, and has reinforced to us the timeliness of our effort to develop a standard technical appr... The kickoff presented us with several new use cases and workflows that could be supported using our model, as well as a number of potential new partners that may be interested in helping to develop a reference implementation for the model.

While preprints are meant to speed up the research process, without comments and filtering it is impossible to quickly identify the most impactful preprints and thus the preprints fail to bring about their desired goal.
