arxiv endorsement code

neelakash

Hi all,
I have written a paper which I wanted to put in arxiv classical physics section. I sent an endorsement request to an endorser in the relevant section and he agreed to endorse the paper in arxiv. He asked me to send him the 6 character alphanumeric endorsement code as suggested here:
http://arxiv.org/help/endorsement

Unfortunately, the webpage does not mention how an author gets his endorsement code. Can anyone please explain how to get the endorsement code? Should I email the administrator?

Have you tried to submit your paper to the relevant arxiv? Presumably when you do you will get an email with the code in it. I've never had to be endorsed or endorsed anyone, though, so this is just a guess.

Hi, my paper was on electrostatics and I put the paper on classical physics. When you submit it to arxiv, they send you a temporary id corresponding to the submitted article. If that is accepted they send a permanent link and a password as well. But they are not the endorsement code.

If it's accepted, then you don't need an endorser. What happens if it's not accepted? Presumably then you are sent an endorsement code.

Unfortunately, that did not happen in the past...I emailed that and they referred me back to the old page that I mentioned. That does not contain the information how does the author get the endorsement code.
