Preprints short and sweet
“… The purpose of this policy is twofold. In the first place, as Dr. Ingelfinger never hesitated to admit, it protects our newsworthiness.”

“… We hope that our policies achieve a reasonable balance. We intend them to be flexible and open to appeal if the interests of the public are at stake. ”http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199111073251910#t=article
Year: 1991

Watch his Helsinki lecture, "Failures of journals and better ways of disseminating science" here!
“[The peer review system] is ineffective, largely a lottery, anti-
innovatory, slow, expensive, wasteful of scientific time, inefficient, easily
abused, prone to bias, unable to detect fraud and irrelevant.”
- Richard Smith (former BMJ editor)

“Presentation of data at a scientific meeting, as a poster, abstract, orally, on a CD, or as an abstract on the web or on a pre-print server does not conflict with submission to The Lancet”
“Scientific communication is in the midst of major changes. Open access, open data, and open peer review are coming, and rules like Ingelfinger's are proving themselves to be increasingly outdated and counterintuitive. Publishing work openly and freely is in the spirit of development, and it's now easier than ever.”
