We are the first preprint service on this platform. SO there will be issues that pop up. Please, if you find any GUI glitches, or have any questions or suggestions, put them here, and the CDL folks will pay attention.

In that case I would say: The top feature request for version 1.1.
Having to edit or to print a new PDF makes uploading a preprint a lot more cumbersome, especially for papers where the uploader is not the first author. Even as member of EarthArXiv I have skipped one publication I second-authored because it was too hard and the paper was going to be published OA later anyway.

Hi @Bruce Caron and @Andy Byers Justin actually spoke with our contact at Google Scholar about this and got some good advice from her about the best approach. I know he'll be following up with you both on this issue when he's back.

I agree... doing this on the service side would save authors a lot of time yak shaving to get their PDF ready.

The flip side is: what if the author adds a statement and we duplicate it....
Lisa Schiff Thu 15 Oct 2020 5:36PM
That has to be indicated in Submission Guidelines.
Andy Byers Thu 15 Oct 2020 5:44PM
Yeah I can still see it happening tho 😁

Sure, authors fail to follow Submission Guidelines all the time; the Editors can then choose to fix the problem themselves or send the doc back to the authors.

Rather two than none, right? Espeically given we're trying to be absolutely squeeky-clean about the reviewe status of submissions...

Hi @Andy Byers ... Cool.... let me pass this question to the group and get back to you.
