| Feb 13, 2017 at 19:44 | comment | added | darij grinberg | @Anony-Mousse: I am not implying this. Sadly, few people do it right. What I mean is that this shouldn't prevent you from citing an arXiv preprint, since you can easily do it right. The problem with the crap preprints is more substantial, but authors usually understand well enough whether the papers they are cited are good or not (or at least whether the parts they are using are reliable). | |

And I've seen many - even prominent, not only crap - unreviewed papers on arXiv. | |
| Feb 13, 2017 at 5:03 | comment | added | Nate Eldredge | @darijgrinberg: Lots of arXiv preprints have not yet undergone peer review, and many never will. | |
| Feb 12, 2017 at 20:41 | comment | added | darij grinberg | The "not peer reviewed" thing is not as important as you seem to make it. Usually, authors retract their arXiv preprints if the referee finds a serious error (although authors don't always correct minor errors found by referees). | |
| Feb 12, 2017 at 20:40 | comment | added | darij grinberg | "and may even have been changed" Non-issue, because you should cite arXiv preprints with their version number!! | |
