EDP Sciences has developed new software tools to be used in arXiv.org projects.
Authors who submitted their manuscript to arXiv can now provide the arXiv ID of their paper. Once the article is published in A&A, a DOI/arXiv ID mapping list is automatically sent to arXiv. arXiv.org will then add on the e-Print record of the article a link to the A&A published version of their article.
This will of course increase the incoming traffic to their A&A paper and will help authors to have their research widely disseminated to the community.
The A&A team always strives to offer its authors an ever-increasing range of services.
