How do you filter arXiv? There's way too many papers on arXiv, it's impossible to keep track of everything, especially since the quality on arXiv is ... heterogenous.
- acollins1331 7y agoYou use Google to find a paper with a title that sounds like what you're looking for and then if it's on arxiv you read it.
- xenocyon 7y agoThat's interesting, this method has Google take the place of peer review. Are there concerns with the Google algorithm being unsuited to this purpose, or SEO? Personally, I only trust arxiv preprints when I know something about the authors.
- acollins1331 7y agoGoogle searches all the journals I need. I try searching journal databases (like web of science) and they always miss papers I know exist. I type the title into Google and I usually find it, and if I don't I ALWAYS find it on Google scholar. They even have nifty little links to download the citations for endnote etc.
- YorkshireSeason 7y agoI find this doesn't work well. t's quite easy to produce a catchy looking title and abstract. Unlike mere Googling, top conferences and journals add a layer of peer review that reduces the probability of low-quality content. I've been burned too often by random papers on the internet.
