论文摘要
我们声称并提供了证据,表明会议或期刊提交提交的研究人员,尤其是早期职业以及整个科学界,允许ARXIV出版。具体而言,Arxiving有助于专业身份建设,防止独立的重新发现,盗窃和守门;它有助于开放研究结果分布并减少不平等。优势使缺点(主要是著名作者的论文接受率相对增加)的缺点 - 研究表明这是边缘的。分析Arxiving论文的利弊,我们得出结论,要求匿名的预印本几乎与不允许它们一样有害。我们没有理由为什么作者除了作者是否应该决定是否arxiv。
We claim, and present evidence, that allowing arXiv publication before a conference or journal submission benefits researchers, especially early career, as well as the whole scientific community. Specifically, arXiving helps professional identity building, protects against independent re-discovery, idea theft and gate-keeping; it facilitates open research result distribution and reduces inequality. The advantages dwarf the drawbacks -- mainly the relative increase in acceptance rate of papers of well-known authors -- which studies show to be marginal. Analyzing the pros and cons of arXiving papers, we conclude that requiring preprints be anonymous is nearly as detrimental as not allowing them. We see no reasons why anyone but the authors should decide whether to arXiv or not.
