More Academic Spam

01 May, 2026

I've put out a preprint on ArXiV which renewed the academic spam I receive.

The two funniest points are:

1. I also submitted another preprint on the same day which has attracted no spam whatsoever.
2. This spam is actually for junk journals in my area (maths), and not in completely unrelated fields I've received spam before (social and biological sciences).

I wonder what on the preprint triggered the spam emails.
