自1991年创立以来，arxiv已成为在许多领域传播研究的中心。本文结合整个arxiv和科学网(WOS)的数据，调查了arxiv上所有学科的论文比例和arxiv论文在WOS中的比例，(B)arxiv提交到期刊发表之间的时间，(C)arxiv电子版及其出版版本的老化特征和科学影响。它表明，在arxiv上找到的WOS论文的比例在物理和数学专业之间有所不同，只有少数专业广泛使用该资源库。从arxiv提交到期刊发表之间的时间缩短了，但数学的时间比物理的长。在物理学、数学以及天文学和天体物理学中，arxiv版本比WOS论文被引用得更快，衰落得更快。论文的arxiv版本--无论是已发表的还是未发表的--被引用率都低于已发表的论文，尽管已发表和未发表的论文的arxiv版本的影响几乎没有区别。
Since its creation in 1991, arXiv has become central to the diffusion of research in a number of fields. Combining data from the entirety of arXiv and the Web of Science (WoS), this article investigates (a) the proportion of papers across all disciplines that are on arXiv and the proportion of arXiv papers that are in the WoS, (b) the elapsed time between arXiv submission and journal publication, and (c) the aging characteristics and scientific impact of arXiv e-prints and their published version. It shows that the proportion of WoS papers found on arXiv varies across the specialties of physics and mathematics, and that only a few specialties make extensive use of the repository. Elapsed time between arXiv submission and journal publication has shortened but remains longer in mathematics than in physics. In physics, mathematics, as well as in astronomy and astrophysics, arXiv versions are cited more promptly and decay faster than WoS papers. The arXiv versions of papers-both published and unpublished-have lower citation rates than published papers, although there is almost no difference in the impact of the arXiv versions of published and unpublished papers.
