arXiv Endorsement Policy

The physics preprint arxiv, also known to astronomers as astro-ph, has a policy whereby approval to post to the arxiv is contingent on approval by an established submitter. When a person new to the system first attempts to post something, the system replies with a request for such approval, which the submitting author must then seek.

I get a lot of these requests. I do not have time to sort through them all. So my blanket policy covering such requests is to just say no.

So please don't ask. It is a waste of your time and mine.
