@adamshostack @vardi @tychotithonus I believe our publications should not be in the hand of a single institution. #arXiv, #OpenResearchEurope (https://open-research-europe.ec.europa.eu/) or even better a distributed/federated repository run by universities would be a better solution. In terms of editing, at least in CS, publishers don’t add value but friction (it’s outsourced to underpaid workers who add unnecessary mistakes and are impossible to communicate with), so this step can probably discarded. Indexing is still largely controlled by the big publishers ( #scopus), so we need open alternatives (such as #dblp).

"Cornell Tech has received more than $7 million from Schmidt Sciences and NASA to upgrade arXiv, an open-access research repository of more than 2.8 million articles. "

It's great news for arXiv. I'm just wondering why they want actually move to the cloud:

"finish migrating to cloud infrastructure"

NREN are providing access for educational networks, I hope the cloud mentioned there is operated by a NREN operator.

"Major #AI labs, including OpenAI, Meta, and Anthropic, continue to innovate significantly, yet their innovations remain largely proprietary… #Konwinski argued that for ideas to truly flourish, they need to be freely exchanged and discussed with the larger academic community. He pointed out that generative AI emerged as a direct result of the #Transformer architecture, a pivotal training technique introduced in a freely available research paper [ #OpenAccess in #arXiv]."

#arXiv will no longer accept #CcomputerScience review papers unless they’re already accepted elsewhere. The reason: too many low-quality and #AI-generated submissions.

Given the drama surrounding the arXiv for its dependence on Google and its recent ban on review articles in computer science, I have a question:

Do we still need the arXiv?

Wouldn't a federated network of institutional repositories be a much better option?

Update. Here's how #arXiv is dealing with a similar problem in computer science.

"Before being considered for submission to arXiv’s #CS category, review articles and position papers must now be accepted at a journal or a conference and complete successful peer review…In the past few years, arXiv has been flooded with papers. Generative #AI / #LLMs have added to this flood by making papers – especially papers not introducing new research results – fast and easy to write. While categories across arXiv have all seen a major increase in submissions, it’s particularly pronounced in arXiv’s CS category."
