Numerically the effect of early ArXiving is defined by the causal estimand ATET (screenshot 1). The paper reports ATET is high (9.76%) *before* accounting for NOC. BUT after considering NCO, the effect is almost non-existent for authors with different citation counts or institution ranks (screenshot 2).

Conclusion: enjoy your guilt-free early ArXiving!

The authors answer this question in [1] by first laying out the causal graph where early ArXiving is the treatment (variable A) and paper acceptance in a conference is the effect (variable Y; screenshot). Two confounders exist — one unobserved that is the creativity and originality of a paper (intrinsic), while the other is observed that is the topic/authors/institute of a paper (extrinsic).

ArXiv.org has been a wonderful place for researchers to submit findings and catch up with the latest, but does submitting papers there (“early ArXiving”) increase the odds for them to be accepted later in a peer-reviewed venue?

(Drumroll please)

Picking up a non-urgent editing job not looked at before Christmas '22... it feels like a year not a couple of weeks. Now, how was I handling those intricate archival citation/references? #Edibuddies #CopyEditing #AcademicPublications #AmEditing

#metadata weakspots and potential solutions - here's a bunch of short presentations that I'll share with my #librarians:

Relieved to find that I'd not lost sections 5.3 and 5.4 of a complex academic grammar of a nondominant language. They were there, just without the styles. #BigSighOfRelief #AmEditing #AcademicPublications #Edibuddies
