Arxiv is pre-publishing, not publishing. Much as I wish the death of Elsevier, this is an important distinction for us to maintain, as we all found out during the LK-99 superconductor craze.
- xyzzyz 3y agoThere is plenty of fake crap that’s published too. Publishing is really not that big of an improvement over Arxiv. Ask working scientists.

As for asking working scientists, working scientists were warning caution during the LK-99 debacle partially by reminding people that it hadn't even been published yet.
