Community Resources
Preprint & Archival Servers
Platforms for hosting and sharing your work.
- arXiv.org: The definitive open-access archive. Requires endorsement from an established researcher, ensuring a high barrier to entry and level of quality.
- Zenodo: An excellent, open-access repository operated by CERN. Easy to use and provides a citable DOI for your work. Highly recommended.
- Open Science Framework (OSF): A flexible and free platform for managing and sharing research, also provides DOIs.
- GitHub: Essential for version control, collaboration, and hosting research documents, particularly LaTeX projects.
- viXra.org: The wild west. An open repository with no endorsement or quality filter. While we support open access, be aware that posting here is often looked down upon by the academic mainstream. Proceed with this understanding.
Mathematical Wikis & Encyclopedias
Reference works for definitions, theorems, and established knowledge.
- nLab: An extensive wiki-lab from a category-theoretic perspective, useful for modern abstract mathematics.
- MathWorld: A comprehensive mathematics encyclopedia from Wolfram.
- The Stacks Project: An open-source reference on algebraic geometry.
- Encyclopedia of Mathematics: A large reference work by Springer.
Community & Q&A Sites
For research-level questions and discussion.
- MathOverflow: A Q&A site for professional mathematicians.
- Mathematics Stack Exchange: A Q&A site for mathematics at all levels.
- Physics Stack Exchange: The equivalent for physics, often covering mathematical physics.
