论文摘要
双盲会议已经参与了有关是否允许作者在审查过程中在Arxiv或其他地方在线发布论文的辩论。独立地，一些研究论文的作者面临着由于其优点和缺点而将论文放在Arxiv上的困境。我们进行了一项研究，通过定量测量来证实这一争论和困境。具体而言，我们在两个顶级双盲计算机科学会议上对审阅者进行了调查-ICML 2021（5361个提交和4699名审阅者）和EC 2021（498份提交和190名审阅者）。我们的两个主要发现如下。首先，超过三分之一的审稿人自我报告在线搜索他们被分配的论文进行审查。其次，在审查过程之外，我们发现来自更好的隶属关系的预印象的可见性较弱，ICML的相关性为0.06，而EC的相关性为0.05。特别是，与前10名隶属关系相关的论文的可见性在ICML和EC的22％，而其余论文的可见性分别为7％和18％。
Double-blind conferences have engaged in debates over whether to allow authors to post their papers online on arXiv or elsewhere during the review process. Independently, some authors of research papers face the dilemma of whether to put their papers on arXiv due to its pros and cons. We conduct a study to substantiate this debate and dilemma via quantitative measurements. Specifically, we conducted surveys of reviewers in two top-tier double-blind computer science conferences -- ICML 2021 (5361 submissions and 4699 reviewers) and EC 2021 (498 submissions and 190 reviewers). Our two main findings are as follows. First, more than a third of the reviewers self-report searching online for a paper they are assigned to review. Second, outside the review process, we find that preprints from better-ranked affiliations see a weakly higher visibility, with a correlation of 0.06 in ICML and 0.05 in EC. In particular, papers associated with the top-10-ranked affiliations had a visibility of approximately 11% in ICML and 22% in EC, whereas the remaining papers had a visibility of 7% and 18% respectively.
