(Redirected from ArXiv (identifier))
arXiv is a preprint archive operated by Cornell University, see the Wikipedia article. There has been criticism of arXiv practices. Created to host studies of this, this top-level resource should remain rigorously neutral and verifiable. It may link to subpages that are neutral and verifiable, in which case they may be edited by any Wikiversity user. If such pages are Wikiversity user opinion, original research, or reports of personal experience, they should be explicitly attributed to author, and editing may be restricted. Page attribution, if relevant, should be identified with any links from neutral pages.
