    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.

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