Although letters to the editor (LTEs, or Correspondence) have a wide range of communicative functions within science, they also present several drawbacks, three of which we highlight: editorial ambiguity, technological limitations and skewed perceptions about their format. An assessment of Scopus (September 16, 2023) indicated that letters account for 1.7% to 3.2% per year, relative to articles and reviews, suggesting that the LTE field is undeveloped. We argue that the creation of a new preprint server, which we name CoArXiv or LettersArXiv, would allow LTEs—with timely and valuable knowledge and insight—to be posted in much the same way as other preprints, and would be one way to overcome needed reform of LTE-publishing culture, ultimately expanding the range of science communication channels for multidisciplinary research. We consider that such a preprint server would offer three major benefits for scientific research: format-free ease of swift communication, increased author visibility and accountability, and avoiding the homelessness of unpublished LTEs.
