arXivIDs

arXivIDs are unique identifiers assigned to preprints hosted on the arXiv repository. arXiv is an open-access repository for scholarly articles in various fields, including physics, mathematics, computer science, quantitative biology, quantitative finance, and statistics. Each submission to arXiv is assigned a unique identifier in the format of "arXiv:YYMM.NNNN", where "YY" represents the last two digits of the year, "MM" represents the month, and "NNNN" is a sequential number assigned within that month. This identifier is used to reference and cite the preprint in academic literature. arXivIDs are crucial for tracking the dissemination and impact of research, as they provide a permanent link to the preprint and its metadata. The arXiv repository is maintained by the Cornell University Library and is widely used by researchers and academics worldwide.
