      Arxiv is a web archive where authors can publish their scientific papers, usually preprint.

      The joke is you usually hear : “email the author to get the paper” but arxiv is not like a journal: it has already the PDF freely available.

        Its not the peer reviewed version though, right?

          Yep the article is not reviewed. Anyone can publish a pfd there.
