To Subscribe to the E-Mail Alerting Service
If you would like to receive regular daily listings of the abstracts of new submissions by e-mail, then you can subscribe to this service as follows.
Determine which archive is of interest to you, and obtain its e-mail address from the list of available archives.
For archives divided into subject classes:
If the archive to which you are subscribing requires distinct subject classes (such as themath
,physics
,cs
,q-bio
andq-fin
archives; but notastro-ph
,cond-mat
ornlin
, see handling subscriptions to all physics archives through physics below), then you (un)subscribe to a specific category, indicating the categories in the body of the message. Here is an exampleTo: physics@arxiv.org
Subject: subscribe John Smith
add Biophysics
del Plasma Physics
You may alternatively use the short subject class codes, for example to subscribe to the Risk Management category (
q-fin.RM
) in Quantitative Finance:To: q-fin@arxiv.org
Subject: subscribe John Smith
add RM
For archives not divided into subject classes:
Send an e-mail message to the archive(s) of interest, in the following form
You should give your name as you wish it to appear on the distribution list. Here is an example:To: arch-ive@arxiv.org
Subject: subscribe Your Full Name
To: quant-ph@arxiv.org
Subject: subscribe John Smith
(Subscribing to
cond-mat
in this way will subscribe you to allcond-mat
subject classes.)Handling subscriptions to all physics archives through
physics
Thephysics
archive can be used to subscribe to any combination of existing physics archives, e.g. to something like `General Relativity', `Astrophysics', and `High Energy Physics - Experimental'. This is also the only way to subscribe to a subset of the subject classes within theastro-ph
,cond-mat
andnlin
archives. For example, to subscribe only to thecond-mat
subject classes `Soft Condensed Matter' and `Superconductivity', the email would read:To: physics@arxiv.org
Subject: subscribe John Smith
add Soft Condensed Matter
add Superconductivity
If you want to change from, say, subscribing to all of
astro-ph
to subscribing to justastro-ph.EP
then you must first cancel the subscription toastro-ph
, and then subscribe toEP
through thephysics
archive.
To Cancel Your Subscription
If you want to cancel your receipt of the regular listings, you can do so as follows.
- Find the e-mail address of the archive for which you are receiving the listings.
-
Send an e-mail message to the archive, in the
following form
To: arch-ive@arxiv.org
Subject: cancel
Here is an example:
To: quant-ph@arxiv.org
Subject: cancel
If you want to cancel your subscription to a particular subject class in an archive that supports subject classes, then see the example use of
del
in thesubscribe
command above.
Note that you may be subscribed through a remote listserv, or through some local preprint distribution list at your end. You can determine the origin of your subscription by examining the the header from the daily mailing you receive. You will have to deal with this through the administrator of the remote distribution list.
