Allow Uploads from arXiv server

Authors can upload source files directly from the arXiv database found at http://arxiv.org.  Many Authors (primarily in Physics and Math) post their research on the arXiv server as a resource for other researchers.  Authors may then wish to submit their article directly from the arXiv database.  An Author wishing to do this would likely know the arXiv code which consists of a string of letters and numbers identifying the particular database (e.g. hep-th or physics.acc-ph) followed by a forward slash and a 7-digit number unique to the arXiv database (e.g., hep-ex/0401001, physics/0401001, math.AG/0401002).

The ability to upload these files directly to the system is controlled in PolicyManager on ‘Edit Article Types’ page.  Journals can specify which Article Types allow files to be uploaded directly from the arXiv server.  If the Article Type is configured to ‘Allow file uploads from the arXiv server’ in PolicyManager, the Attach Files page displays special instructions and a textbox for entry of the arXiv file identifier.  Authors can also upload additional ‘regular’ files on the same page, in addition to the arXiv file.

To Configure:  Go to PolicyManager, ‘Edit Article Types’, click the ‘Edit’ link next to the Article Type you want to edit, then click the checkbox labeled ‘Allow file uploads from the arXiv server’.
