Please do not submit versions of your AI assisted scholarly article to ai.viXra.org as sent to you by a publishing journal or which you have generated using the journal's standard templates unless you have permission in writing from the journal publisher to make those versions available on the internet. These would include copyright formatting and logos of the journal which could lead to take-down notices being sent to ai.viXra.org. While authors remain responsible for content, ai.viXra.org has no wish to aid copyright violations and sometimes proactively removes versions of documents that appear to show journal formatting. This can be avoided by creating your own PDF versions of your papers for ai.viXra.org with your own layout and formatting.
If you have any difficulties with this procedure please ask us about it by sending e-mail to aibox@vixra.org. We will not accept submissions themselves by e-mail under any circumstances.
If you wish to replace a paper that has already been listed you should upload the updated version in a similar way except you should use the replacement form. Your e-mail address should be the same as the original submission.
You may replace a paper up to four (4) times to include corrections and refinements. Further replacements will not be allowed. Please refrain from making immediate (within 4 days) or frequent replacements as they will be rejected without notice. Please remember that only carefully finalized paper should be submitted in the first place. It is not a perpetual work in progress like an encyclopedia article that gets continuously updated in the light of new information. You should not submit a paper if you know that it is incomplete and will require replacements.
When you make a replacement the new version only appears at the bottom section of the main category listings and is not given any new prominence. This is to discourage people who have a misguided belief that they can get more attention by submitting replacements. People searching in Google are just as likely to find an old version as the newest replacement at least until the Google index has updated. This is outside our control. To avoid these problems we advise you to try to submit finished papers to begin with.
Papers with the same title as a previous submission by the same authors, or very similar in title, abstract or content, may be treated as replacements. If we make a mistake let us know and we will look at it again.
When a paper is replaced, we will normally keep copies of earlier versions online as a record. There is no removal option at the present but withdrawal option
To withdraw a paper use the withdrawal form. A reason for withdrawal should be given. Use the same e-mail address as the original submission. If a journal asks you to withdraw a version from an online archive as a condition of publication then you are strongly advised not to accept the condition. No respectable journals make such requests.
ai.viXra.org does not require that authors grant any specific license to ai.viXra.org. Copyright is assumed to remain entirely with the authors of any articles submitted. We will comply with any verified request to withdraw articles from any of its authors. ai.viXra.org assumes that submitters have gained permission of all authors for us to archive articles on ai.viXra.org and its mirrors, and to allow them to be indexed and cached in search engines and other catalogues. If this is not the case please do not submit. Permission is not given for them to be copied and held in other public archives except as a temporary cache. No rights granted are assumed to be exclusive to ai.viXra.org and authors may submit their work to other archives and journals without constraints from us. ai.viXra.org will not charge for access to any articles, but we reserve the right to introduce some advertising on the website or fund raising methods. The content of the articles will not be modified by us. Authors may specify a particular license agreement (such as creative commons) provided it is consistent with these conditions. We recommend that any such license be stated in the PDF document. We may also include it in our comments field if we are aware of it.
It is the stated purpose of ai.viXra to accept all scholarly AI assisted submissions. However we reserve the right to reject or withdraw papers and we are likely to do so if we become aware of the following:
We may not accept works of art, literature, journalism, politics or similar categories that have no scientific content.
Submissions should be single papers/monographs. Collections such as compiled works or conference proceedings would need to be separated into individual papers and submitted individually. Longer works such as books or thesis can be accepted provided author, title and abstract are included.
ai.viXra.org may accept e-prints in other languages besides English, but please provide at least a title, author name and abstract in English. A paper will reach a wider audience if written in English so we realize that most authors will want to provide their work in English. You may find it better to provide a single PDF with both language versions combined.
We will not accept submissions in formats other than PDF or sent in other ways.
You should give your real name as author and you must not pretend to be someone else or claim an unjustified affiliation. If you claim an affiliation you must be able to prove it, e.g., by pointing to a webpage on the institution website. You should also give some indication of your position at the institution e.g. professor, postdoc, PHD student, etc.
Some journals may not permit an e-print to be kept online when they publish your paper. Please check their terms and conditions.
We reserve the right to place an article in a different science category if we think it is more appropriate
Comments should be very brief and limited to technicalities such as the number of pages, license terms and publication notes. Information about the content of the paper such as its aims is more suitable for the abstract.
Please keep your abstract to less than 400 words. We will truncate over-long abstracts in the listings. Most formatting in the abstracts, such as new titles and new paragraphs will be lost. We will try to reproduce subscripts, superscripts and any unusual characters in the HTML but please do not include any more complicated equations.
The submitted work must be completely contained in one PDF document. It cannot include any extra files such as figures.
Do not include executable files embedded in the PDF. This can trigger virus alerts which ultimately result in the an.viXra.org site being blocked. If you wish to distribute software associated with your research papers you can upload it to a file sharing site then provide a link and instructions.
Please keep the file size of the article in pdf maller than 5 MB.
We cannot make links from ai.viXra.org to author sites, other than any in the PDF.
The best way to prepare mathematical documents is with TeX or LaTeX. There are free packages available for most popular platforms, e.g. MiKTeX for Windows.
Please do not submit lots of short papers with a similar idea. Combine them into one larger e-print. Your readers will appreciate it.
It is perfectly acceptable to submit AI assisted e-prints to both ai.viXra.org and other archives. However, if you submit for publication in a commercial journal you should check that the journals terms and conditions do not restrict you to one online copy (Most scientific journals do allow copies of the submitted version to be submitted to archives. They are often unhappy about the posting of updated versions with changes requested by their reviewer before publication in the journal. It is normally OK to update the archive a little while after it has appeared in the journal, but please also avoid using the journals formatting or logo. Sometimes it is a journal requirement that you update the comment to show the citation reference for the published version. However, the exact conditions vary. There is usually something about the policy in the copyright FAQ on the publishers website). If you submit to ai.viXra.org and later decide to limit to one copy elsewhere you can withdraw the e-print from ai.viXra.org.
By submitting your documents to ai.viXra.org you declare that all authors and other copyright owners of the work have given permission for distribution on the website and that you will inform us of any change of conditions.
Please do not use "cc" to copy any of your e-mails sent to us to other people's addresses. This could result in discussion replies from other individuals making it more difficult for us to track submission messages. When this happens we mark the e-mail addresses as sources of junk mail and this may cause submissions from those e-mail addresses to be delayed or missed altogether.
Normally we aim to put all e-prints online within 48 hours from submission. If you do not receive a confirmation within 48 hours after submission, the submission is not accepted and you may send us inquiry email. DO NOT resubmit papers just because they have not yet appeared - This causes much wasted time for the administrators. If administrator commitments mean that there could be extended delays, then there will be a message in red at the top of this page giving details.
Once your e-print is online please check that we did not miss-enter any of the information and let us know if we did.
