Authors can submit notebooks either as supplemental materials or as an entire article.
Notebooks can be created with Mathematica or Publicon , and they can be viewed with Mathematica , Publicon , or MathReader . Areas of study covered on arXiv include physics and related disciplines, mathematics, nonlinear sciences, computational linguistics, and neuroscience. Last year, over 30 thousand papers were submitted and an estimated 15 million preprints were downloaded from arXiv and its international mirror sites. Increasingly, researchers want to be able to use one environment both for deriving their results and for publishing them. This allows readers to replicate, compare, and further investigate submission results, fostering a more interactive environment for sharing work.
