do most of the hyped papers have peer review even? the field moves too fast for that, press releases are issued as soon as the first draft is on arxiv.

- eanzenberg 7y agoApologies, but I see a lot of “trash” published in arxiv (also some real good stuff) Peer review could fix some things but would also show some other things down
- madenine 7y agoI like to think of arxiv as the holding area for anything that COULD be peer reviewed. Advantage is we get to see stuff now, not after it gets accepted at by a conference or journal. Disadvantage, we have to filter on our own. Twitter and sites like arxiv sanity preserver are helpful for filtering.
