Attention Authors: Updated Practice for Review Articles and Position Papers in arXiv CS Category. Is that the end of survey articles? #AcademicChatter blog.arxiv.org/2025/10/31/a...

Why is the arXiv CS category making this change?

In the past few years, arXiv has been flooded with papers. Generative AI / large language models have added to this flood by making papers – especially papers not introducing new research results – fast and easy to write. While categories across arXiv have all seen a major increase in submissions, it’s particularly pronounced in arXiv’s CS category.

Submitting your paper to arXiv while under double-blind review at a conference could compromise the double-blind process, even though most conferences do not view arXiv submissions as formal publications. I think conference organizers should reconsider their policy wrt preprints. What do you think?

I like this idea/approach! Is there a shepherding process to avoid including content in the final version of the paper without proper quality control?
