arXiv will run an online fundraising campaign for one week, from February 26 to March 4, 2017, to help raise additional funds (see Donations to arXiv). The baseline maintenance costs are sponsored by the 206 member organizations, the Simons Foundation, and Cornell University Library. This online campaign aims to garner additional resources from the program's active and supportive user base.
Stewardship of resources such as arXiv involves not only covering the operational costs but also continuing to enhance their value based on the needs of the user community and the evolving patterns and modes of scholarly communication. It is essential to raise additional funds in order to fund new initiatives that are beyond the routine operational work, and to robustly support arXiv’s Open Access mission. Donations to arXiv are tax deductible, eligible for employer matches, and easy to schedule. Donations can be made here. We thank you for your support.
We are pleased to announce the successful deployment of our updated TeX processing and production system. The update incorporates TeX Live 2016 as well as numerous local add-ons that have been upgraded to the latest versions. The previous iteration of our TeX tree had not received any substantial updates since 2011, so this represents significant step forward. We expect that the effort we have invested in this update will allow us to incorporate future versions of TeX Live and other packages with greater ease and frequency. We are grateful to our submitters, administrative staff, and the wider TeX community for their support and patience during the development process!
As of 2017, arXiv's Scientific Advisory Board has two new members:
- Tara Holm, Professor of Mathematics, Cornell University
- Nicholas Read, the Henry Ford II Professor of Physics, Yale University
Nicholas Read has also replaced Daniel Gottesman as Chair of the arXiv Physics Advisory Committee
Our sincere gratitude to outgoing SAB member Karen Vogtmann. Thank you from all the arXiv SAB members and staff for your 12 years of service.
