Why not? I love to peek at .tex file comments, and secretively hope that somebody somewhere is reading mine...
- lou1306 2y agoEhh sometimes you have additional results or insightful remarks that simply don't fit into the page limits. You may want to keep those for yourself and use them for a separate publications rather than give them away.
- JohnKemeny 2y agoWell, you don't have page limits on arXiv, though.
- michaelmior 2y agoThis is true, but arXiv submissions are often prepared with a target venue in mind that does have page limits.
- JohnKemeny 2y agoAlso true, but the arxiv version is often (in my experience) containing the entire paper. Indeed, many conferences ask people to submit the full version to arXiv.
- michaelmior 2y agoInteresting. I know it frequently happens, but I've never seen a conference explicitly make that request.
- JohnKemeny 2y agoHere's an example (ICALP): > Authors are strongly encouraged to also make full versions of their submissions freely accessible in an on-line repository such as ArXiv, HAL, ECCC. This is from the call for papers a few years ago. The wording has changed in recent CFPs, due to employing (weak) double-blind reviewing. They still allow uploading to arXiv (with full names and affiliations) despite being anonymous.
- lou1306 2y agoAye, but in this context "full version" usually means "a version with more detailed proofs/results related to the paper's contributions", rather than "a version with additional contributions".
