A Breakdown of arXiv Submissions in Mathematics

Fair Moderation, Equitable Access, and AI: arXiv’s Updated Rate Limit Policy
arXiv, and the scientific community at large, are facing a watershed moment. Scholarly publishing is currently changing at a rapid pace, and we are seeing a…

Content Moderation - arXiv info
arXiv is a forum for professional members of the scientific community, providing rapid distribution of new research. As part of the service all submissions are subject to moderation. Material submitted to arXiv is expected to be self-contained and of interest, relevance, and value to the disciplines we serve.
We’re gonna need a lot more mathematicians

Whoops! Most arXiv papers contain information never meant to be shared
Passwords, GPS coordinates and private conversations have all been found in the metadata and source files of millions of preprint submissions.


arXiv Is Rate Limiting Submissions Because It Can’t Keep up With AI Slop
The academic publisher said submissions have doubled in the past two years and moderators are having a hard time keeping up.

HTML papers on arXiv -- why it is important, and how we made it happen
In October 2023, arXiv made HTML formatted papers available to readers. This was the exciting outcome of over a year of accessibility research and development with the scientific community. Currently, only 2.4% of research outputs meet accessibility guidelines. Informed by scientists who rely on assistive technology, our analysis demonstrates that offering HTML is the most impactful step arXiv can take. Scientists need HTML now, and emphasize to not let perfect be the enemy of good enough. In this paper we share with you how arXiv is achieving HTML conversions from LaTeX now, and our plans for future improvements.

arXiv Changes Rules After Getting Spammed With AI-Generated 'Research' Papers
Cornell University’s arXiv will no longer accept Computer Science reviews and position papers.
Tony Feng on Twitter / X
I am a mathematician but I avoided commenting on this because the problems are (far) outside my domain. Even if I sat down to read the technical details (which I have not), it would be hard to appreciate the context of prior work, etc. But I've gotten enough sense of things… https://t.co/VZzosBYFto— Tony Feng (@tonylfeng) August 5, 2026

This pattern of asking a cheap LLM to generate hypothetical / fake classifications that we then later resolve to real ones is one of the dominant way I'm doing query understanding these days softwaredoug.com/blog/2026/08/10/hypothetical-…
