AI 中文摘要
我反对 arXiv:2609.35787 中提出的将 arXiv 天体物理学投稿分为两个流派的建议：同行评审论文和预评审讨论草稿。我认为这样的划分会威胁到开放的学术讨论，并可能导致基于期刊影响因子或主流与非主流论文的日益严格的分类。相反，只想要同行评审工作的读者可以使用 AI 或其他工具来筛选论文，而其他人可以继续关注更广泛的文献。我强调在期刊接受之前在 arXiv 上发布论文的三个好处。首先，公开张贴让评审之外的科研人员提供反馈，包括识别可能的错误、缺失的参考文献和被忽视的先前工作，从而改进手稿，超出单一评审可能发现的范围。其次，arXiv 可以帮助解决传统匿名同行评审系统的弱点，如冗长的延迟、不一致的报告或不合理的拒稿。公开张贴建立了透明的优先权记录，并允许社区立即获取结果。最后，我建议天体物理学期刊要求作者在论文被接受前至少一周在 arXiv 上发布论文，使 arXiv 成为天体物理学出版过程的核心组成部分。
英文摘要
I argue against the proposal of arXiv:2609.35787 to divide arXiv astrophysics submissions into two streams: peer-reviewed papers and pre-review discussion drafts. I contend that such a division would threaten open scientific discussion and could lead to increasingly restrictive categories based on journal impact factor or mainstream versus non-mainstream papers. Instead, readers who want only peer-reviewed work can use AI or other tools to filter papers, while others can continue monitoring the broader literature. I emphasize three benefits of posting papers on arXiv before journal acceptance. First, public posting lets researchers beyond the referee provide feedback, including identifying possible errors, missing references, and overlooked prior work, improving manuscripts beyond what a single referee may catch. Second, arXiv can help address weaknesses in the traditional anonymous peer-review system, such as lengthy delays, inconsistent reports, or unjustified rejection. Public posting establishes a transparent record of priority and allows the community to access results immediately. Finally, I propose that astrophysics journals require authors to post their papers on arXiv for at least a week before acceptance, making arXiv the central component of the astrophysical publication process.
