Trackbacks
arXiv.org supports the Trackback standard. By sending a trackback, you can notify arXiv.org that you've created a web page that references a particular paper. You can view recent trackbacks.
You can send a trackback to our system by giving your blogging software the following trackback URL:
http://arxiv.org/trackback/{paper_id}
You will find this URL at the bottom of every abstract page. Our abstract pages support trackback autodiscovery: software such as Movable Type or WordPress can send trackbacks automatically when you link to our abstract pages.
- Our trackback service is experimental and may be modified or discontinued at any time.
- Trackbacks will not be immediately visible. Because of widespread Trackback spam we have a semi-automated editorial process that approves trackbacks for display. Trackbacks from known blogs should become visible in a few minutes, but it may take longer for us to recognize new blogs.
- We reserve the right to reject trackbacks for any reason.
- Trackback autodiscovery is only implemented on URLs of the form "http://arxiv.org/abs/{paper_id}" and NOT on URLs of the format "http://arxiv.org/{paper_id}" or on PDF or other full-text formats. Bloggers will get best results if they link only to the official abstract page.
