Have you ever wondered why papers from top universities/research labs often appear in the top few positions in the daily email and web announcements from arXiv?
Why is that the case? Why should I care?

Wait a minute! Does the article position even matter?
It matters!
See https://arxiv.org/abs/0907.4740
-> Articles in position 1 received median numbers of citations 83%, 50%, and 100% higher than those lower down in three communities.

So you get a significantly higher visibility boost, wider readership, and long-term citations and impacts by ...
simply putting your paper on the top position in the articles!
Crazy huh?

How can I get my paper on the top?
Understand that arXiv is a "stack" data structure (first in last out, FILO)! Submit your paper RIGHT BEFORE THE DEADLINE will make your paper appear on the top! Probably the easiest way to improve your paper visibility.

Check out the submission deadlines below. Unfortunately, the deadlines would be hard to meet for Asian countries, e.g., 2:00 PM EST is 3:00 AM in Taiwan time.
This in some sense, also creates a disparity in terms of visibility across regions. :-(

Here is the submission time for papers at position 1 in CVPR [ http://cs.CV ] category last week. In most cases, people wait to submit until right before the deadline so that you get the top position (and therefore having more visibility, readership, and citations).
