arXiv-NG – arXiv blog News from arXiv.org
The NG project is modernizing arXiv For arXiv to continue to provide reliable and rapid dissemination of research, our technical infrastructure needed to be modernized. As reliable as our classic system has been, its codebase and technologies have become antiquated and very difficult to maintain and extend. Over more than 20 years, it has evolved organically into a complicated monolith, comprised...Continue Reading The NG project is modernizing arXiv
Help pages get a facelift As part of the Next Generation project to rebuild arXiv we are moving our help pages and other static content to a new public repository. The changes deployed today are a first step towards a long overdue reorganization of our Help and About content and making those pages more discoverable to users. You will see...Continue Reading Help pages get a facelift
arXiv NG Phase I: Sloan Grant Wrap-up A couple of months ago we wrapped up our first phase of arXiv-NG development, with generous support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. We’ve written about various parts of that work in more detail in other blog posts, but it is gratifying to be able to step back and take stock of all that we’ve...Continue Reading arXiv NG Phase I: Sloan Grant Wrap-up
arXiv-NG: In-Person Testing for Submission UI One of our current arXiv-NG projects is refactoring the submission interface. In June, we invited ten people from a variety of disciplines and career stages at Cornell University to the arXiv offices to test drive the Next Generation submission interface. We used an interactive prototype to simulate the process of submitting a paper to arXiv...Continue Reading arXiv-NG: In-Person Testing for Submission UI
Search v0.4: bug-fixes, date-related searches This morning we released v0.4 of the arXiv search application. Here is a quick run-down of bug-fixes and new features introduced in this release. New Features Ability to hide abstracts in search result We received quite a few requests for the ability to disable abstracts in search results. We went ahead and added the feature,...Continue Reading Search v0.4: bug-fixes, date-related searches
arXiv NG: incremental decoupling and search Martin (our IT Team Lead) and I gave a brief update on the arXiv-NG project at the Open Repositories 2018 conference in Bozeman, MT last week. So it seems like a good time to offer an update here, as well. For a high-level refresher on what we’re up to, check out my earlier post. In...Continue Reading arXiv NG: incremental decoupling and search
Release: search v0.2 + some notes on names Version 0.2 of arXiv search was deployed to production this morning. This release addresses a variety of bugs identified in v0.1, with special attention to searching by author names. Detailed release notes can be found on the arXiv public wiki. Author names in arXiv If you used arXiv’s search interface to look for your papers...Continue Reading Release: search v0.2 + some notes on names
New Release: arXiv Search v0.1 Today we launched a reimplementation of our search system. As part of our broader strategy for arXiv-NG, we are incrementally decoupling components from the classic arXiv codebase, and replacing them with more modular services developed in Python. Our goal was to replace the aging Lucene search backend, achieve feature-parity with the classic search system, and...Continue Reading New Release: arXiv Search v0.1
Planning, prioritization, and getting things done in arXiv-NG The arXiv Next Generation project is an ambitious effort to renew the software that runs arXiv.org for long-term evolvability. In a previous post, I described some of the technical drivers for arXiv-NG, and our high-level approach. We’ve embarked on a mission to progressively rebuild the arXiv software by isolating components from the classic system, and...Continue Reading Planning, prioritization, and getting things done in arXiv-NG
Engaging external developers in arXiv-NG Starting last June, the arXiv team began reaching out to researchers and developers who have created tools that leverage arXiv APIs and/or content. We identified several hundred projects on GitHub and SourceForge, as well as platforms mentioned in responses to the 2016 arXiv user survey. We conducted a targeted survey for API consumers, and contacted...Continue Reading Engaging external developers in arXiv-NG
