Arxiv is a site for archiving and accessing scientific papers.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArXiv

The caveat being that these papers are preprints, aka not peer reviewed. It's got a lot of gems, but also a metric fuck ton of garbage. Use it as a starting place, not a finishing one, like Wikipedia... but it's sometimes even less reliable. If it's not your specially, find better sources.

Yes, actually. This is definately a source they use.
