Preprint Servers

There are different preprint servers where articles can be submitted. We basically use the following providers:

• arXiv requires submissions in pdflatex, as a result, we only use submit our preprints to arXiv when we have written articles in pdflatex, which is typically done in the context of the typical conferences organized by the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL).
• Humanities Commons is something like an all-purpose preprint server that we use for most articles. Disadvantage is that updates are only possible within one day of submission, and past attempts to modify content have not been successful, since we did not receive any reply on our emails.

Additionaly preprint providers are bioRxiv and PsyArXiv. Both can be used, but bioRxiv tends to reject content not really relatd to biology. Nature and Science now also offer their own preprint services. They are not recommended, since they are bad in many regards (e.g. no Unicode handling in Word Documents). If needed, one can still use them, of course, e.g., because the journal requires ist, but rather stick to the two mentioned above plus [Psy
