I believe that's what the report number refers to, a way to give proper credit the way you do it by adding the journal info. Of course, these kind of reports are remnants of a bygone era, but I bet you'll see this field for a while still. | |

| Apr 11, 2010 at 11:20 | comment | added | Philip Brooker | I posted papers to the arXiv for the first time last month and just left the "Official report number(s) from the author(s) institution(s)" entry blank. Although at arxiv.org/help/submit it seems that it is required to enter some sort of report number, when you actually get there it seems to say to enter it only if it exists. Perhaps a better way to say it is that you should enter a official institution report number if and only if such a number exists. My guess is that they ask for this so that appropriate credit/sourcing/whatever is given to the institution. Maybe. | |
