On the endorsement page of Arxiv, it says "During the submission process, however, we may require authors who are submitting papers to a subject category for the first time to get an endorsement from an established arXiv author". Does this mean that the first-time submission still needs endorsement even if the author is affiliated with an institution?

  • Isn't that exactly what that text says? I don't understand what's unclear. – Bryan Krause Nov 04 '22 at 00:07
  • Yes, it was copied exactly from the endorsement page of Arxiv. – E Zhang Nov 04 '22 at 00:09

    The text says "we may require authors who are submitting papers to a subject category for the first time to get an endorsement", so that's what it means. "may" indicates some but not all cases, otherwise they'd write "always" or "never". I don't think they mean to be dodgy or unclear here, this is their official page describing what endorsement means. – Bryan Krause Nov 04 '22 at 00:09

It might do, but it also may not. I submitted my first paper to arXiv 2 months ago, and did not need any endorsement, just signed in with my institutional email.
