Ask HN: ArXiv Endorsement as Independent Researcher
2 days ago
I have a preprint article [1] which I'm trying to get submitted to arXiv's cs.SI (Social and Information Networks) for peer review. As an independent researcher I do not have any affiliations to a university anymore. How do I go about this? Appreciate any kind of info / support.

ArXiv is not for peer review, it's just for publishing.
I've seen a lot of post from Zenodo, but most of them were bad.
[I have no arXiv account anyway.]

I understand that but unless I publish my preprint somewhere it's hard to submit for review.
Can you share more about why it's hard to submit the preprint for review unless its first published somewhere? Wouldn't you be able to submit the preprint directly to whichever conference or journal you want it published in?
For a different way to receive feedback for a preprint consider truediffs.com. I created it partly out of frustration for the time it takes to publish smaller work. Although not currently implemented, I can provide a version that keeps review comments private.

In math and physics, you just upload the pdf to the webpage of the journal and then the editor wisely decides what to do. It's not necesary to upload it elsewhere.
