Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
In this essay I explore the difficulties faced by scientific authors in the editorial format currently in use, drawing parallels with historical and cultural references. Focusing particularly on the song "Los Dinosaurios" by Charly García, I discuss the impact of the editorial requirement to separate - or unite - the Results and Discussion sections in scientific articles. I argue individually that this separation is often arbitrary and unproductive, using historical examples of notable scientific publications to illustrate the benefits of a unified approach. The ultimate goal of this essay is to advocate for a more streamlined and less restrictive editorial process that fosters creativity and efficiency in scientific communication
RESUMEN
En este ensayo exploro los desencuentros que enfrentan los autores científicos en el formato editorial de uso actual, estableciendo paralelismos con referencias históricas y culturales. Centrándome particularmente en la canción "Los Dinosaurios" de Charly García, discuto el impacto de ese requisito editorial que es separar -o unir- las secciones de Resultados y Discusión en los artículos científicos. Argumento de manera individual, que esta separación es a menudo arbitraria e improductiva, utilizando ejemplos históricos de publicaciones científicas notables para ilustrar los beneficios de un enfoque unificado. El objetivo final de este ensayo es abogar por un proceso editorial más ágil y menos restrictivo que fomente la creatividad y la eficiencia en la comunicación científica
