Jun 30, 2017 at 8:00 | comment | added | David Z | Nitpick here: "They only accept submissions from members of arXiv" is either inaccurate or misleading. arXiv does not have individual members, except in the sense that you can sign up for an account on the website, but signing up has nothing to do with the endorsement process which the rest of the answer is about. | |

Jun 29, 2017 at 11:58 | comment | added | Tobias Kildetoft | @MohamedIBrahim (cont.) Though as also mentioned by Joris, it may be very hard to find someone who is willing to endorse a review paper written by an undergraduate (if it was a research paper then even a weak but correct one would probably get endorsed, but the bar is a lot higher for review papers). | |
Jun 29, 2017 at 11:56 | comment | added | Tobias Kildetoft | @MohamedIBrahim I am agreeing more and more with Joris now. I think the phrasing in the message is such that if you happen to be an established researcher in your field but just haven't been using arXiv so far, they will accept your paper without you having to find an endorser (so if you could either point to a solid record of publications or to the fact that you are a full professor at your institution that would probably suffice). Since this is not the case, most likely they will follow up with a request that you find an endorser once they get around to it (everything takes time). | |
Jun 29, 2017 at 11:15 | comment | added | Mohamed IBrahim | no i don't feel that it is rude , very far of his I find you advice a very wise and I will try to apply it , Thank you very much. | |
Jun 29, 2017 at 11:11 | comment | added | Joris Meys | PS: I don't mean this in a rude way, although people have told me I can appear rather rude at times. I just want to help you out in choosing what's the best investment of your time. | |
Jun 29, 2017 at 11:10 | comment | added | Joris Meys | @MohamedIBrahim I personally would advise my students to not try to publish a review before they published at least 3-4 research articles about that topic. So if you were my student, I'd tell you withdraw the review and to focus on doing actual research and reporting on that instead. But this is strictly my personal opinion on matters. If you want to proceed with the review, I'd try to find an arxiv author at your university and ask for his/her opinion with an open mind. And if the answer is "don't do this", take it and move on. You've still got an entire carreer ahead of you. | |
Jun 29, 2017 at 11:05 | comment | added | Mohamed IBrahim | sorry for my misunderstanding , so you think that the solution is to ask for arxiv author from my university to endorse me or this is hard ? | |
Jun 29, 2017 at 11:01 | comment | added | Joris Meys | @MohamedIBrahim if you would be as kind to register the "In most cases" before that sentence, and read the next paragraph as well: "During the submission process, however, we may require authors who are submitting papers to a subject category for the first time to get an endorsement from an established arXiv author." They're gathering information in order to endorse you for submission to that field. And you can argue with me all you want, this is how arXiv works for over 10 years now and I didn't make these rules. | |
Jun 29, 2017 at 10:55 | comment | added | Mohamed IBrahim | @JorisMeys I think as they stated "automatic endorsement is given to authors from known academic institutions and research facilities. arXiv submitters are therefore encouraged to associate an institutional email address," the problem is not with the endorsement from the beginning , they gave it to based on the official mail I've registered with it and then I submit already. | |
Jun 29, 2017 at 10:29 | comment | added | Joris Meys | The mail they sent to @MohamedIBrahim , is the request for information in order to endorse him. Again, as explained on the page I linked to. | |
Jun 29, 2017 at 10:14 | comment | added | Tobias Kildetoft | I do know the basics of how endorsement works, but as explained by the OP, the message from arXiv was in response to them submitting the paper, not in response to them wanting to submit it. I do think the answer points towards the right explanation though, as I also guessed in a comment, namely that this is a review rather than a research paper (the endorsement is not as an expert in the field but just as someone who has written a publishable research paper, which is a lot weaker in general, but gets closer to the same when it is a review paper). | |
Jun 29, 2017 at 10:00 | comment | added | Mohamed IBrahim | @JorisMeys I was thinking so that they will ask for endorsement before i can submit for the first time , but this not happened and I manage to submit without any problem. | |
Jun 29, 2017 at 9:56 | comment | added | Mohamed IBrahim | @TobiasKildetoft yes you are right for your guess about that they do automatic endorsement for me after I use my academic E-mail (.edu email) so this is not a problem. Also they did not ask me in their message for endorsement , so i think it is not the problem. | |
Jun 29, 2017 at 9:46 | comment | added | Joris Meys | @TobiasKildetoft arXiv requires endorsment before the first submission, not at registration. So you can register without endorsment, but you can't submit without it. It's all explained on their help pages btw. | |
Jun 29, 2017 at 9:18 | comment | added | Tobias Kildetoft | I am not entirely sure this is correct. Usually the endorsement is for people who do not have an academic affilitation (without an affiliation and without endorsement, you don't even get to the step where you submit the paper). It seems that the OP has had an automatic endorsement through having a university email (at least this is my guess). So in some sense they have already passed the usual point at which an endorsement would be required. | |
