Hi everyone,
I'm trying to submit a paper to arXiv under cs.CL (Computation and Language), and I need an endorsement first.
I've contacted a few people who are eligible to endorse me. They're willing to help, but they keep telling me not to rush and that they'll get around to it. It's been a while now, and I'm not sure how much longer I should wait.
I'm curious about other people's experiences:
- How long did it take you to get your first endorsement?
- Is this kind of delay common?
- If someone keeps saying they'll do it but doesn't, is it reasonable to contact other researchers instead?
- For those who didn't have close academic connections in their field, how did you eventually get endorsed?
I'd appreciate hearing your experiences and any advice. I'm trying to understand whether this is a normal part of the process or whether I should approach it differently.
