arXiv limits submission frequency due to surge in AI papers
Start here
404 Media reports that arXiv, starting October 1, limits each submitter to at most two submissions per calendar month and at most three under review at a time, to ease volunteer review burden; co-authors are not counted as submitters. arXiv says submission volume doubled in two years, the cs.AI category grew more than sixfold, and it observed an increase in low-value AI writing, but did not provide an overall proportion of AI-generated papers; the institution says this is a temporary measure. The Decoder reports that in September 2026 the platform received 40,363 submissions, compared to 20,569 in September 2024 and 9,869 in September 2016; the cs.AI category grew more than sixfold in two years and generated nearly 9,000 support tickets; the new rule applies to all categories and only to submitters; rejected papers still count toward the limit, and deletion before publication returns the quota.

- The DecoderarXiv 将投稿限制为每人每月两篇，应对 AI 论文洪流冲击预印本服务器
arXiv 将从 2026 年 10 月 1 日起把投稿上限收紧为每人每自然月两篇，原因是 AI 工具推动月度投稿量突破 4 万篇。2026 年 9 月该平台收到 40,363 篇投稿，2024 年 9 月为 20,569 篇，2016 年 9 月为 9,869 篇，其中 cs.AI 类别两年增长超过六倍，并产生近 9,000 个支持工单。新规适用于所有类别且只针对投稿人，共同作者不受影响；被拒论文仍计入限额，发表前删除可退回名额。编辑咨询委员会主席 Thomas G. Dietterich 称少数作者提交大量低质量论文，占用审稿人过多时间。arXiv 称这是临时措施，并计划把新获资金用于处理 AI 生成内容的技术升级。
- 404 MediaarXiv 因 AI 生成论文激增对投稿实施频率限制
404 Media报道，arXiv自10月1日起限制每名提交人每自然月最多提交两篇、同时最多三篇在审，以缓解志愿审核负担；共同作者不按提交人计数。arXiv称投稿量两年翻倍，cs.AI类别增长逾六倍，并观察到低价值AI写作增加，但未提供AI生成论文的总体占比。机构称这是一项临时措施，不能将全部增长归因于AI或把cs.AI数字扩大为整个计算机科学领域。
