not just bann them. but to submit in future, their paper needs to be accepted in a reputable peer reviewed journal

[-] Hapankaali@lemmy.world 29 points 2 weeks ago

ArXiv is a place where researchers put papers before they are accepted and peer reviewed ("preprints"). Requiring this would defeat the purpose of arXiv, which is to allow fellow researchers to see material that is not peer reviewed before it is published. Before arXiv, this happened only through informal discussions and meetings during conferences.

submit ai slop once = arxiv doesn't trust you for the rest of your life.

fine by me

Great reason not to publish AI slop then

[-] Hapankaali@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

ArXiv uses an endorsement system so that not everyone can post there. However, sometimes dubious "scientists" manage to slip through the cracks, which is why there is moderation for cases such as these.

Commentor is not saying they should do this. They are doing this.

“The penalty is a 1-year ban from arXiv followed by the requirement that subsequent arXiv submissions must first be accepted at a reputable peer-reviewed venue,” Dietterich wrote.

arXiv has postprints, too, and it means that once a journal has accepted your work, you can prerelease before they publish.

But yes, they are effectively telling the research community to get their shit together before submitting, or pay the price.

Oh my bad, I interpreted the comment as saying it should be a general requirement.

[-] Fmstrat@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yea, I figured! Pretty heavy handed on arXiv's part, so I'm not surprised by the interpretation. Though, I like the heavy handedness.

Unfortunately this will just make them add "don't make this look like slop" to their prompts
