Arx | Manifesto

Some [A]s are better than others.

Principles
- Arx is super simple.
- Arx has a strong ethic: no exploitation under any circumstances—just pure service to its users and to the world.
- No useless overtreatment, technological stubbornness, or excessive ownership.
- Arx is crowd-funded, even if the crowd means only 10 users.
- One-Year Donation: If you’re happy, you keep donating; otherwise, no recurring subscriptions on your card.
- Friendly customer service: write to us as you would to a colleague.
- No emails, SMS, or push notifications from us.
- No AI exploitation, no bot cruelty over humans.

Mission
Arx is an open, academic, non-profit platform/repository where researchers can share working papers, preprints, and published articles, while also linking related data and code. Its mission is to make your works more accessible, broaden its reach, enhance the quality of research, and contribute to the evolution of scholarly communication.

Arx operates on an ecological rather than an economic model, as it is supported by donations by its users in exchange of a durable, affordable, honest service.

Arx technology partner is 「MAVILIO KK, Japan」which hosts the server and is in charge of development and maintenance. ■
