@hfalcke @LudoWaltman @stephenpinfield @cwts @RoRInstitute @ASAPbio It is certainly much higher in astrophysics and theoretical physics, but people working in material science for example do not have the same preprint culture - there are many different branches of physics with different traditions and norms.

@Luke_Drury @hfalcke @stephenpinfield @cwts @RoRInstitute @ASAPbio There are indeed major differences between fields in the physical sciences, with Astronomical and Space Sciences as well as Quantum Physics having the highest preprint adoption, followed by Atomic, Molecular, Nuclear, Particle and Plasma Physics. See the figure below for more details. Note: Field definitions are based on the Fields of Research (FoR) classification in #Dimensions.
