This development will make it easier for preprint servers and journals to display links (backwards and forwards) between different versions of the same article, and it will facilitate pooling of metrics, citations, etc between the versions. This is a landmark in the development of preprints as an integral part of the scholarly literature.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New resources at ASAPbio.org<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How many <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/asapbio.org\/preprint-info\/biology-preprints-over-time\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">life sciences preprints<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> were posted&nbsp;in September 2016?
