English term or phrase: preliminary
Fakethrough! GMOs and the capitulation of science journalism
Golden rice is just one example among many of **preliminary** or doubtful research projects being inflated into positive global GMO news stories.

Wie findet ihr "unausgegoren" für "preliminary"? Das scheint mir jedenfalls besser zu passen als "vorübergehend":

Fakt oder Fabel? GVO und die Kapitulation des Wissenschaftsjournalismus
Goldener Reis ist nur ein Beispiel von vielen unter den **unausgegorenen** oder zweifelhaften Forschungsprojekten, die als globale Erfolgsgeschichten von gentechnisch veränderten Organismen dargestellt werden.

vorläufig


Explanation:
als alternative zu unausgegoren. Es kommt darauf an was für einen Ton man anschlagen will. Preliminary research oder preliminary report sind geläufige Ausdrücke und werden of mit vorläufige Untersuchungen oder vorläufiger Bericht überstetzt.
