- leephillips 5y agoI have, quite often. But, for example on arxiv, the date is on the page that lists papers and that has the links to the various versions of the paper. And, in case the author has neglected to include the date in the PDF, arxiv adds the date, embedded in the PDF, vertically at the left of the first page. Added: But you’re right that authors often neglect to include date on the the manuscript or preprint versions, and this is a problem. I guess because journals often don’t want this, as they will add the submission and publication dates.
