It is also valuable for scientists as it is often a 'directors cut' version of the paper. Journal submissions are heavy edited and shortened to fit into the page limits.

- emil-lp 3mo agoI don't know which field you're talking about, but in general, math and cs journals do not have page limits. By the way, one of my favorite pastimes is to download the latex source for papers on arxiv and read all the commented-out stuff. % we should make sure this theorem is actually true
- honzaik 3mo agocryptography, for example, which is essentially math + cs together
- emil-lp 3mo agoWhich journal?
- honzaik 3mo agolook at essentially any proceedings of any conference (in crypto we dont really do journals). see EUROCRYPT for example https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-91098-2 https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-91098-2 in there, every paper will be cut down and referring to full version for proofs etc. which are typically on eprint.iacr.org
- emil-lp 3mo agoWell, yes, conference proceedings are usually page limited, but that's not a journal.
- Der_Einzige 3mo agoIn AI, conferences are far more prestigious than journals.
- seasox 3mo agoWe usually do conferences in cryptography/security, and most of them have page limits: CCS, USENIX, NDSS, S&P, CRYPTO, EUROCRYPT all have page limits (some allow appendices, which reviewers are not obligated to read).

- BeetleB 3mo ago> I don't know which field you're talking about, but in general, math and cs journals do not have page limits. A lot of physics journals do. Anything ending in "Letters" (e.g. Applied Physics Letters, Physical Review Letters". Science has a word limit per article. Nature doesn't have a hard limit, but if it exceeds 6-8 pages, it needs to be exceptional.
- maleldil 3mo agoACL conference papers usually cap the main body at 8 pages, with unlimited appendices. KDD has a hard limit of 9 pages plus 3 for references and appendices.
- rcbdev 3mo agoHave you ever tried publishing a paper to an IEEE Section 8 conference? The page limits are ruthless. TELFOR 2026 has a 4 - 8 pages maximum.
- haritha-j 3mo agoIn CS, unlike in many other fields, the best work comes out as conference papers, not journals, and they do have strict page limits. Most arxiv papers I read become conference papers, not journal papers.
- kergonath 3mo agoWhen that’s the case, the preprints would be just as short. We don’t really like unnecessary pain so we write short manuscripts from the beginning, if we plan to submit in such a journal. Usually, the longer versions get published somewhere else anyway.
