Download source code from Overleaf if you use it:
menu
->download
->source
. -
Strip comments and combine all
tex
files (f01-main.tex
,f02-intro.tex
, etc.) into one filearxiv_main.tex
.
# Replace f01-main.tex with the main tex file in your overleaf project
latexpand --empty-comments f01-main.tex > arxiv_main.tex
-
Create a new directory and copy only essential files into it (
arxiv_main.tex
, style files, figures, etc.). -
Compile
arxiv_main.tex
with BibTeX in your new directory by running the following four commands. The main purpose of this step is to generate a.bbl
file. You would need to runpdflatex
three times. Check if the generatedarxiv_main.pdf
looks correct.
pdflatex arxiv_main
bibtex arxiv_main
pdflatex arxiv_main
pdflatex arxiv_main
- Zip all files inside the directory (don't include the directory itself). Upload the tarball file
arxiv.tar.gz
to arXiv.
tar czvf arxiv.tar.gz ./*
- The "deadlines" of arXiv submission
Submissions received between (all times Eastern US) | Will be announced (all times Eastern US) | Mailed to subscribers |
---|---|---|
Monday 14:00 – Tuesday 14:00 | Tuesday 20:00 | Tuesday night / Wednesday morning |
Tuesday 14:00 – Wednesday 14:00 | Wednesday 20:00 | Wednesday night / Thursday morning |
Wednesday 14:00 – Thursday 14:00 | Thursday 20:00 | Thursday night / Friday morning |
Thursday 14:00 – Friday 14:00 | Sunday 20:00 | Sunday night / Monday morning |
Friday 14:00 – Monday 14:00 | Monday 20:00 | Monday night / Tuesday morning |
- If you post between Wednesday 14:00 – Thursday 14:00, it will be announced on Thursday 20:00 and be on the arXiv front-page for three days. This is because the next announcement will be on Sunday 20:00. This is the best day to post on arXiv if you want to maximize the exposure.
- By default, arXiv orders submissions by "recentness". Therefore, if you submit right before 14:00, it is more likely to be listed on the first page of the list (top 25 most recent submissions). On Thursday, there are usually about 70-100 machine learning submissions (3-4 pages!)
