arXiv has implemented a strict rate limit of two paper submissions per submitter starting immediately. This policy change is a direct response to the influx of low-quality, AI-generated content flooding the platform. The move aims to preserve the integrity of scientific literature by reducing the volume of automated or slop submissions.
- arXiv now caps submissions at two per author to fight AI-generated spam
- Policy targets the surge of low-quality 'slop' papers overwhelming the system
- Effective immediately, impacting all researchers planning to submit new work
- Reflects broader struggle in academia to maintain signal amidst AI noise
