A note on arXiv

arXiv provides the world with access to the newest scientific developments. Open Access has a myriad of benefits, in particular, it allows science to be more efficient. Remember to think about the quality of the papers referenced. In particular, the importance of the peer-review process for science.
If you find an article on arXiv you should check if it has been peer-reviewed and published elsewhere. The authoritative version of the paper is not the version on arXiv, rather it is the published peer-reviewed version. The two versions may differ significantly.

For example, this is the case with one of the papers that I once discussed in the Text and Multimedia Mining class at Radboud:

For the selection of the papers above, I choose open access over completeness. If you find another (open) version of a paper, you are invited to make a pull request.
