Mathematician Peter Richtarik: arXiv Should Not Limit Submissions

peter_richtarik · x · 2026-10-02

In a debate over whether arXiv should impose submission limits, mathematician Peter Richtarik pushed back firmly: research styles vary widely—some write one huge paper every few years, others build large collaboration networks, others write short papers, long papers, or books. arXiv should be a central repository for all of them.

His core argument: arXiv is not a journal and should not impose such limits; verifying results and stamping approval is the job of conferences and journals. The remark responds to a question from @DimitrisPapail.
