To me, this undermines the credibility of the other content since the "joke" tries to portray as genuine by being published on arxiv. It sort of dilutes to credibility of others.
- varenc 5y agoArxiv isn’t supposed to be a badge of credibility. It’s literally the place any academic can dump a paper to have it stored free forever. Many academic papers that never make it into journals are stored there. From their homepage they say: > Materials on this site are not peer-reviewed by arXiv That said, they shouldn’t actively accept joke papers of course.
