arXiv submission draft branch

[tylerjereddy]

I'd adjusted this feature branch so that a tarball created in the following manner is successfully processed to produce a preview PDF in the arXiv system: tar -czvf scipy-ms.tar.gz scipy-1.0

Maybe check for issues in that preview (if you can see it). Their Tex Submission Instructions do contain some points we might improve upon, like reference handling, but not sure this is worth draining time on.

Anyway, good to have more than one set of eyes before we try to submit irreversibly.

[tylerjereddy]

Don't merge this -- was supposed to be a draft-only branch..

[mdhaber]

@tylerjereddy Link to preview PDF doesn't work because I'm not the "submitter of that submission"

[tylerjereddy]

How about this PDF attachment to the GitHub comment:
scipy-arxiv-preview1.pdf

[stefanv]

I gave it a quick scan, and it looks good; we also have the option to upload a v2 later on. Thank you, Tyler.

[tylerjereddy]

alright, perhaps I'll aim to upload tomorrow if I don't see any specific objections

[mdhaber]

Looks good!

[tylerjereddy]

Ok, I've submitted to arXiv--it is now processing and scheduled to be announced on Thursday July 25 if everything goes well.

I forwarded the pertinent email to the paper committee people, I think

[apbard]

Thanks @tylerjereddy!
Could you please forward the emails also to all other authors? Nothing special but I just would like to follow the process on arxiv and (hopefully) Nature Methods.

[tylerjereddy]

Co-authors should be able to claim ownership on the arXiv posting, which is now up here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.10121

I'm hoping @mdhaber will help me distribute the link / password to the appropriate people.

[mdhaber]

@tylerjereddy Sure thing; I can send an email to all the authors - and to the mailing list, if you'd like.
(For the email to the authors - how would I get the password? Did you already register me as an author, because it already appears to be linked to my account.)

[larsoner]

I just registered on arXiv and do not currently own the paper, so I'm happy to be a guinea pig for the link/text before sending out to other co-authors

[ev-br]

The corresponding author should have received an email which looked like this:

Your submission submit/2768618 has been assigned the permanent arXiv
identifier 1907.10121 and is available at:

http://arxiv.org/abs/1907.10121


The paper password for this article is: XXX

This paper password is meant to be used by coauthors for claiming ownership of the preprint.

(Feel free to contact me off-list for navigating around arxiv UI).

[tylerjereddy]

Yes @mdhaber should have a copy of that email from last night -- it includes the password

[mdhaber]

Ah I see you forwarded it. Thanks. Will need to do it later today, though.

[tylerjereddy]

@mdhaber Do you propose that we "backport" some recent fixes in master branch into this arxiv submission branch & then proceed with submitting a revised preprint?

[mdhaber]

Yes, if possible I'd backport everything that has been merged since the original submission.
