“…It shows that, globally, about 64% of arXiv can be found in the WoS. This percentage is slightly higher than those obtained by Manuel (2001) and Mine (2009). This percentage varies across subfields: while about 80% of e-prints in condensed-matter physics (physics:cond-mat), and 70% of those in theoretical nuclear physics (physics:nucl-th), and theoretical high-energy physics (physics:hep-th) are published in WoS journals, this percentage is around 45% in mathematics (math), quantitative finance (q-fin), and statistics (stat), and is less than 20% in computer science (cs).…”

“…However, most research has focused on the preprints-specifically on the relationship between electronic preprints and their subsequent publication and impact. For example, approximately half of all preprints in arXiv subsequently appeared in peer-reviewed publications (Manuel, 2001;Mine, 2009), andMoed (2007) found this percentage to be about 75% in condensed matter. Studies have also looked at the inverse, viz., the proportion of journal literature in a given field that is also in arXiv.…”

Since its creation in 1991, arXiv has become central to the diffusion of research in a number of fields. Combining data from the entirety of arXiv and the Web of Science (WoS), this article investigates (a) the proportion of papers across all disciplines that are on arXiv and the proportion of arXiv papers that are in the WoS, (b) the elapsed time between arXiv submission and journal publication, and (c) the aging characteristics and scientific impact of arXiv e-prints and their published version. It shows that the proportion of WoS papers found on arXiv varies across the specialties of physics and mathematics, and that only a few specialties make extensive use of the repository. Elapsed time between arXiv submission and journal publication has shortened but remains longer in mathematics than in physics. In physics, mathematics, as well as in astronomy and astrophysics, arXiv versions are cited more promptly and decay faster than WoS papers. The arXiv versions of papers-both published and unpublished-have lower citation rates than published papers, although there is almost no difference in the impact of the arXiv versions of published and unpublished papers.

“…IR-modified Hořava gravity seems to be consistent with the current observational data [13][14][15], but in order to test its viability more observational constraints are necessary. In [16] the possibility of observationally testing Hořava gravity was considered by using the accretion disk properties around black holes.…”

“…It was argued in [17] that the slowly rotating Kerr black hole could be interpreted as arising from the breaking of spherical to axial symmetry. It is easily checked that in the limit of ω → ∞, the slowly rotating solution (11) leads to the slowly rotating Kerr solution (14). In the analysis of the thin disk properties that follow, we compare the geometries given by metrics (11) and (14), respectively.…”

In the present work, we consider the possibility of observationally testing Hořava gravity by using the accretion disk properties around slowly rotating black holes of the Kehagias-Sfetsos solution in asymptotically flat spacetimes. The energy flux, temperature distribution, the emission spectrum as well as the energy conversion efficiency are obtained, and compared to the standard slowly rotating general relativistic Kerr solution. Comparing the mass accretion in a slowly rotating Kehagias-Sfetsos geometry in Hořava gravity with the one of a slowly rotating Kerr black hole, we verify that the intensity of the flux emerging from the disk surface is greater for the slowly rotating Kehagias-Sfetsos solution than for rotating black holes with the same geometrical mass and accretion rate. We also present the conversion efficiency of the accreting mass into radiation, and show that the rotating Kehagias-Sfetsos solution provides a much more efficient engine for the transformation of the accreting mass into radiation than the Kerr black holes. Thus, distinct signatures appear in the electromagnetic spectrum, leading to the possibility of directly testing Hořava gravity models by using astrophysical observations of the emission spectra from accretion disks.

Scientific journals still matter in the era of academic search engines and preprint archives

Journals play a critical role in the scientific process because they evaluate the quality of incoming papers and offer an organizing filter for search. However, the role of journals has been called into question because new preprint archives and academic search engines make it easier to find articles independent of the journals that publish them. Research on this issue is complicated by the deeply confounded relationship between article quality and journal reputation. We present an innovative proxy for individual article quality that is divorced from the journal's reputation or impact factor: the number of citations to preprints posted on http://arxiv.org. Using this measure to study three subfields of physics that were early adopters of arXiv, we show that prior estimates of the effect of journal reputation on an individual article's impact (measured by citations) are likely inflated. While we find that higher‐quality preprints in these subfields are now less likely to be published in journals compared to prior years, we find little systematic evidence that the role of journal reputation on article performance has declined.
