arXiv checks papers for text overlap: an author's use of too much identical text from other authors' papers, without making it clear that the text is not their own material, i.e., "plagiarism": | 77.41% | 14.66% | 4.96% | 2.96% |
arXiv makes sure submissions are correctly classified (the subject categories are included on the arXiv homepage): | 64.38% | 25.32% | 7.01% | 3.29% |
arXiv keeps out (rejects) papers that don't have much scientific value: | 60.02% | 19.14% | 15.49% | 5.35% |
arXiv checks papers for too much text re-use from an author's earlier works, i.e., "self-plagiarism" (reuse of identical content from one's own published work without citing): | 57.77% | 24.64% | 14.08% | 3.51% |
arXiv checks papers for format-related problems (line numbers in text, missing references, oversize submissions, etc.) and asks authors to fix them before they are announced:. | 55.00% | 29.83% | 11.51% | 3.66% |
arXiv moderates the scientific content of trackback (links to blogs and commentaries) before permitting the link to be added: | 39.60% | 26.31% | 17.59% | 16.50% |
