| Aug 28, 2011 at 20:07 | comment | added | Anand | Thanks ABayer, after reading your advice and others, I plan to have a version well-done to put on arXiv while submitting for some journal. :-) | |
| Aug 27, 2011 at 3:36 | comment | added | Arend Bayer | It seems quite likely that no other version of your paper will be read (or at least, looked at) more often than the first version you post on the arXiv. So unless you have a very specific reason to hurry, you should never post anything that you still want to improve. | |
| Aug 25, 2011 at 9:26 | comment | added | Anand | @quid. I am sorry that I don't quite understand Professor Gerald Edgar's comments. I am now convinced. I plan to polish my report to a version ready for submitting and then put it on arXiv. It will be my very first paper, that's why I am quite lost about these matters. Thank you very much for your help! :-) | |

| Aug 24, 2011 at 15:23 | comment | added | user9072 | In view of Gerald Edgar's comment on Emerton's answer, could you clarify whether you are convinced you want to post to the arXiv at some point and are only interested in the timing (this is what I assumed). Or, whether not posting at all might also be an option. | |

| Aug 24, 2011 at 0:30 | comment | added | Emerton | ... The conclusion seems to be that one should post on the arxiv as soon as one is ready to share one's work with colleagues, and that is often at, or close to, the same time that one is ready to submit one's paper. In particular, it is quite common to post on the arxiv at the same time as submitting, or not long prior to submitting. | |
| Aug 24, 2011 at 0:23 | comment | added | Emerton | Dear Anand, People typically post a preprint on the arxiv at the same time that they post it on their own homepage, with the goal of disseminating their work to their colleagues. (These days, posting on the web is more important than journal publication for sharing your work, and the arxiv is the central repository for math on the web.) This is often at the same time that they submit to a journal, although sometimes they wait for feedback (as Joe Silverman suggests above), and sometimes they spend more time polishing their preprint before submitting it (as darij grinberg suggests). ... | |

| Aug 23, 2011 at 22:53 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | ... from above. The current question is not quite suitable for MathOverflow as much as it is for arxiv or a blog, however useful it might be. If it were modified to be more pertinent to MathOverflow, I think it would turn into a meta question rather than a regular question. Gerhard "Ask Me About System Design" Paseman, 2011.08.23 | |
| Aug 23, 2011 at 22:48 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | I could see a related issue as a question on meta.mathoverflow. To wit: How do MathOverflow users use arxiv, in particular when do they decide to post something on arxiv? Also, are there any MathOverflow features I should use Kdos and don'ts) to promote or let MathOverflow users know of my submission? Are there ties or other things between MathOverflow and arxiv that would help me use both? Continued... Gerhard "Ask Me About System Design" Paseman, 2011.08.23 | |
| Aug 23, 2011 at 22:32 | comment | added | Joe Silverman | I agree that this seems like a useful question, and it is research related in the sense that it involves how one presents research to the community. So I don't see why it should be closed. If you vote to close, please leave a comment saying why. Anyway, what I normally do is post a paper on the ArXiv when it's ready to be submitted, then I wait a few days (or even a week or two) to see if I get any comments, after which I submit the paper. This allows corrections. A recent example: someone I cited in an ArXiv paper kindly wrote to point out I'd spelled his name wrong in multiple places! | |
| Aug 23, 2011 at 22:07 | comment | added | Yemon Choi | I am not so sure that this question needs to be closed (though it should probably be CW if it remains open). Is there an existing MO question which addresses Anand's questions? | |
| Aug 23, 2011 at 22:01 | comment | added | darij grinberg | At the first stage at which you feel not too embarassed to share the paper with your colleagues. Preferrably before submission. | |
