Click to Download, register for updates, and view a tutorial.

Developed by Dr. Jason Melbourne
with Support from the California Institute of Technology
 
arXivNow was built to be an efficient way to browse Astro-ph. It supports keystroke browsing, filtering of articles by your chosen keywords, saving interesting articles into your database, and it tracks the days you have visited Astro-ph.  arXivNow also produces bibtex files for easy integration with Bibdesk and Latex.

  • Track the days you’ve read arXiv
  • Revisit missed days
  • Save a bibtex file of your database

Future Capabilities

Known Issues
  • Bibtex data is obtained from ADS. There is a brief period each day when the new astro-ph is posted, but ADS does not have the new articles.  During this time, arXivNow will not save the bibtex information or a citeKey.  You can update these articles later with proper bibtex information, and again a month or so later to get the journal updates.
  • Author institutions are not reported.
  • Let me know if you find something else!
