| Jan 25, 2010 at 15:33 | comment | added | Michael Lugo | My first arXiv submisison was in July 2009; I have academic affiliation and didn't need endorsement. | |
| Jan 25, 2010 at 13:07 | comment | added | Gerald Edgar | I, too, think endorsement will suffice for those without academic affiliation. When you try it, post in this thread and let us know what happened. | |
| Jan 25, 2010 at 7:22 | comment | added | Ilya Grigoriev | @Paul: October 2009. I'm pretty sure I wasn't exempt. | |
| Jan 25, 2010 at 6:45 | comment | added | Paul Delhanty | @Grigoriev: When did you first register on arXiv? My understanding was that all <i>new</i> users required endorsement, but there was an exemption for users registered before the cut off date. | |
| Jan 25, 2010 at 6:33 | comment | added | Ilya Grigoriev | @Paul: My guess is that you don't need academic affiliation if you have an endorsement. At least, like Douglas, I did have academic affiliation, and didn't need endorsement. Since endorsement seems to only be required without academic affiliation, it seems logical that you should not need to have both. | |
| Jan 25, 2010 at 4:53 | comment | added | Douglas S. Stones | Yeah, I didn't need to be endorsed since I have an affiliation. I'm afraid, I can't endorse (not enough papers). you don't necessarily need to know the person, just check that their paper is not clap-trap: "You should know the person that you endorse or you should see the paper that the person intends to submit." | |
| Jan 25, 2010 at 4:24 | comment | added | Paul Delhanty | @Douglas, thank you for your prompt answer. I knew about the requirement to be endorsed. The requirement to have academic affiliation seemed additional though. @Pete - thank you for the suggestion. I might resort to that - cross post to sci.math.research and MO with a summary of the paper and a link to a PDF, then see whether someone would be willing to endorse the paper for arXiv. But even then there is the requirement for academic affiliation. | |
| Jan 25, 2010 at 4:06 | comment | added | Pete L. Clark | Yes, that's right. I'm not sure what the best way of going about this is (I have received completely unsolicited requests for endorsement and have turned them down on the grounds that the rules say that I must personally know the author. In truth, if I were willing to vouch for the results of the manuscript to a reasonable degree, I would probably be willing to endorse it.) You could post a link to your paper on some math forum (I'm not sure MO is the right place for this; maybe sci.math.research?) and you might find someone to endorse it. | |
