Recent Peer-Reviewed Journal Articles

One of the things that sets science apart from many other fields of human-endeavor is that to prevent personal opinion from being represented as fact, articles that are submitted to scientific journals are "peer-reviewed", which means the paper is sent to a referee (possibly a scientific "competitor") who disects the article and makes sure its conclusions are valid based on the data presented. The process is not perfect, but it tends to drive a high level of scholarly quality in peer-reviewed journals.

Non Peer-Reviewed Preprints

Preprints are a time-honored way for scientists to pass on their cutting-edge work to their colleagues. Preprints have not generally been peer-reviewed, so any conclusions in the article may be considered tenttive. Furthermore, in the modern preprint process, authors upload their preprints to a publically accessible server, so in practice, a few completely non-scientific papers that would never survive the peer-review process do sneak onto the preprint servers. So Caveat Emptor.
