Offers me an additional way to reject the really lousy papers without review...<br /><br />And, at the risk of sounding snarky, the percentage of papers deposited openly as a function of a given field (e.g., math > physics > chemistry) is inversely proportional to that field's likelihood of producing anything having any useful/economic consequence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5744790168115177005.post-71666993794830099182012-12-27T11:05:51.723+01:002012-12-27T11:05:51.723+01:00Many people who publish in JCP consider themselves...Many people who publish in JCP consider themselves chemists and most chemists have never heard about arXiv. Most of the ones who have think arXiv is exclusively for physics. It would really help if arXiv made a chemistry section. I wrote to them about this, but no reply.<br /><br />The other, related, issue is whether chemists feel an arXiv submission establishes priority since they live in perpetual fear of being scooped. <br /><br />The final issue is that most chemistry journals appear to be arXiv-hostile, though some are not when you actually write to them and ask.Jan Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08595894308946022740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5744790168115177005.post-14922590270520514122012-12-26T15:25:30.026+01:002012-12-26T15:25:30.026+01:00By the way, http://www.councilscienceeditors.org/f...By the way, http://www.councilscienceeditors.org/files/presentations/2009/Ingoldsby.pdf has some research on what percentage of physics articles are on arXiv. Not surprisingly, J. Chem. Phys. is doing quite bad at around 7%, whereas e.g. Phys. Rev. D has a submission ratio of 97%. It seems there are also some great differences between the different fields in physics.<br /><br />Money quote: "Of course, all Physical Review Letters papers are contained in the arXiv" (though looking at the numbers, only 55% of all Phys. Rev. Lett. papers are on arXiv)<br />Michael Banckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10019023009908861248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5744790168115177005.post-52268904092718361162012-03-20T16:04:17.327+01:002012-03-20T16:04:17.327+01:00Much of the physics community is miles ahead of ch...Much of the physics community is miles ahead of chemistry, when it comes to preprint deposition.

It doesn't seem strange that one Publisher doesn't consider an article previously published in a commercial rival's product.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
