Methodology
Eligibility
- The primary arXiv category begins with
math.. - The paper or arXiv metadata explicitly discloses author use of AI or an LLM.
- A reviewer verifies the disclosure.
- The exact quotation and location are recorded.

Counts
Source files are preferred for theorem-like environments, displayed equations, and bibliography entries. PDF text is the fallback. Each record stores the method and any count notes.
Corrections
Corrections to quotations, classifications, counts, metadata, and versions are reviewed through version-controlled changes. Inclusion records a disclosure; it is not criticism of the paper or its authors.
