There are, however, practical and financial constraints on the services we are able to offer for the arXiv collection. We must balance the desire to promote research and development based on the arXiv collection against these constraints. Access mechanisms provided are grouped into metadata and full-text services below.  Please review the Terms of Use for arXiv APIs before using any of the access options below.  Bulk Metadata Access OAI-PMH  arXiv supports the OAI protocol for metadata harvesting (OAI-PMH) to provide access to metadata for all articles, updated daily with new articles. This is the preferred way to bulk-download or keep an up-to-date copy of arXiv metadata.  API  arXiv supports real-time programmatic access to metadata and our search engine via the arXiv API. Results are returned using the Atom XML format for easy integration with web services and toolkits.  RSS  arXiv provides RSS feeds of new updates each day. These are intended primarily for human consumption but do use well defined XML formats and thus might be useful to machine applications.  Bulk Full-Text Access Note: Most articles submitted to arXiv are submitted with the default arXiv license which grants arXiv a perpetual, non-exclusive license to distribute the article, but does not assign copyright to arXiv, nor grant arXiv the right to grant any specific rights to others. We are thus unable to grant others the right to distribute arXiv articles. If you build indexes or tools based on the full-text, you must link back to arXiv for downloads. A small fraction of submissions are made with other licenses and this information is available in the OAI-PMH metadata.  KDD cup dataset  A sample of arXiv source files was collected in 2003 for the KDD cup competition. This dataset may be downloaded from the KDD cup website. This dataset also includes extracted citation data.  Amazon S3  For all articles the processed PDF and source files are available from Amazon S3.

The submitting author must be the copyright holder or have the appropriate permission from the copyright holder to submit all content. To support author choice, we offer four separate licenses to authors that allow ESSOAr to post your content. Authors can select which license is the best option for them. Note that some funders require certain licenses for posting content on preprint servers, and some journals may not accept papers that are already available under a CC license. ESSOAr offers three different Creative Commons (CC) licenses: CC-BY: This license allows others to copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format, including commercially, while requiring attribution (citation) of the original work and no additional restrictions. This is the most liberal license for re-use CC-BY-NC: This license restricts any commercial reuse of the content without your permission. CC-BY-NC-ND: This license also restricts any derivative use, including translations to other languages or other transformation or remixing of the content without your permission. ESSOAr also offers a non-exclusive license, which grants ESSOAr the right to post the content but restricts other reuses. This is the most restrictive license offered. By posting content on ESSOAr, all authors explicitly allow mining of the content including references on for scholarly research, indexing, and enrichment. Once a license is selected and a submission is complete, it cannot be changed to a more restrictive license. The terms applicable to reuse are determined by the authors' selection of either a non-exclusive or Creative Commons license (CC-BY-NC-ND, CC-BY-NC, or CC-BY). License information is displayed in the Details tab on the publication page. (https://www.essoar.org/faq#whatispreprint)"	Supplemental Files inherit the license selected for the preprint or poster.

Although engrXiv is part of the Open Science Framework Preprints service, we host academic research at a number of stages in the research process:  Working papers: Any draft of a paper that is ready to share with interested parties, but has not yet been peer reviewed. If you are sharing your work with a group of colleagues, a conference, or a journal, this may be the perfect time to widen the circle and post it on engrXiv. Preprints: Most people use this term to refer to completed papers that have not yet been peer reviewed (like working papers). However, by some definitions this includes versions of a paper that have been peer reviewed but are not yet published by a journal. However you define preprints, engrXiv will host them. Postprints: After a paper has been published by a journal, this is a version that you elect to share on our open platform. It may be a version that does not include the journal's formatting or other changes, or it may be the publisher's copy (or ""version of record"") if you have the right to distribute it. This is the version you share when you've published something but it's behind a paywall and you want anyone to be able to read it. (https://blog.engrxiv.org/faq/#multilang) ""engrXiv accepts all types of manuscript, including but not limited to systematic reviews, hypotheses, 'negative' results, and data and methods papers.
