About viXra
viXra.org is an open e-print archive launched in 2009 as an alternative to Cornell University’s arXiv.org service. It is owned and operated by Scientific GOD Inc., and hosts a collection of more than 46,000 scholarly e-prints spanning science, mathematics, humanities and other academic fields. The platform has no association with arXiv.org or Cornell University, and does not apply endorsement or moderation filters to submissions.
Users can browse the full archive sorted into clearly defined subject categories, or submit their own original scholarly work to share with the broader scientific community. The main viXra archive only accepts articles written without AI assistance, with separate dedicated sites available for submissions created with AI support.
