This year has been a year of growth at Engineering Archive. We have seen a return to the annual submission numbers that we saw prior to the transition to the new hosting platform and greater than a 20% increase over last year! Some of the issues we saw last year with excessive spam submissions have been mitigated with the implementation of new software to catch automated submissions. Of course, that doesn’t stop those who make such submissions manually, but this is where our manual screening process comes in.

We continue to appreciate the support of the Engineering Archive Membership Circle. The Membership Circle creates the opportunity for institutions, libraries, and other organizations to support the sustainability of the server through a $500 annual contribution. Many of our supporting libraries are in their 7th year of keeping the server running!

We hope you’ll keep in touch via social media. Find us on the fediverse at our Mastodon account @engrxiv@scicomm.xyz. Note that we are winding down our usage of Twitter and will shortly stop using that platform altogether.

Thank you and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
