Server usage differences were more pronounced 237 for COVID-19 preprints; multiple post-hoc comparisons confirmed that bioRxiv and medRxiv received 238 significantly higher usage per COVID-19 preprint than all other servers for which data was available 239 (Tukey HSD; all p values < 0.001). However, for non COVID-19 preprints, the only observed pairwise 240 differences between servers indicated greater bioRxiv usage than SSRN or Research Square (Tukey 241 HSD; all p values < 0.001). We also compared rates of PDF downloads for bioRxiv and medRxiv preprints 506 with a number of other preprint servers (Preprints.org, SSRN, and Research Square) (Supplemental Counts of multiple altmetric indicators (mentions in tweets, blogs, and news articles) were retrieved 510 via Altmetric (https://www.altmetric.com), a service that monitors and aggregates mentions to 511 scientific articles on various online platforms. ./cache/cord-343027-ks3fn9pq.txt ./txt/cord-343027-ks3fn9pq.txt
