A few years ago a [nice paper][1] surveyed the differences in quality between papers submitted to arXiv and those submitted to arXiv's rough cousin, viXra. However, that paper was about generic contributions to natural sciences, whereas [this post][2] on Quora is somewhat focussing on physics. Whence my question: what's the shape of maths on viXra? Should one ever bother to take a glance there, too? (I've just checked the contributions in analysis and I must admit I was a bit scared.) Are you aware of any mathematical article later quoted by, say, more than ten different peers and originally published on viXra? **EDIT:** Of course, the mathoverflow police put this on hold within few hours. While I do understand that this is not a math research question (not in the usual MO sense, at least), this is certainly a question meant to be answered by math researchers. MO is meant to model the social interaction of a math conference; too bad there is no such thing as a StackExchange that reproduces coffee breaks and social dinners as well.
