If a decision about your submission seems wrong
Reply to the decision email. It carries the moderator’s reason in their own words; tell us what you think they missed. A different moderator will look.
If a paper here is not what it claims to be
Write to us with the paper’s reference and what you believe is wrong:
- It is somebody else’s work Tell us whose, and where it was published first.
- It was posted without your agreement If you are named on a paper you did not agree to.
- It puts somebody at risk Anything unlawful, or that identifies people who did not consent.
We will look, and we will say what we decided.
Disagreeing with a paper’s conclusions is not a complaint we can act on. This repository does not peer review, so it is in no position to rule on whether a piece of research is right. Post a response of your own and cite it.
What we will not do
Delete a paper quietly. If something comes down, its page stays and says so. See withdrawal and correction.
These pages describe how the repository works today. When something changes here, it changes because the practice changed.
