INSIDE ARXIV—THE MOST TRANSFORMATIVE PLATFORM IN ALL OF SCIENCE

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

arXiv, created by American physicist Paul Ginsparg nearly 35 years ago, is an online repository that allows researchers to share findings and papers before peer review. The platform hosts over 2.6 million papers, receives 20,000 monthly submissions, and has over 5 million monthly users. Ginsparg is still deeply involved, constantly improving arXiv's quality control and filtering of submissions.
