3“ ephemeralness of stuff on the internet” : yet most publishers are going online, sometime only online…. what will be the fate papers published today in 100+ years?– ZeroTheHeroCommented Aug 8, 2023 at 1:26

3"At this point, I do not see a reliable means to do that." Maybe submit it to Archive.org? That's basically their entire raison d'etre.– IdranCommented Aug 8, 2023 at 14:12

2@JustinHilyard, yes, though they do have a mild constraint that documents approximate publishable papers. Probably course notes, even somewhat advanced, don't fit that. The purported distinction between "research" and "exposition" is something I don't want to have to worry about. :)– paul garrettCommented Aug 8, 2023 at 16:16

5FYI, @Justin Hilyard asked "Maybe submit it to Archive.org?" (among other possibilities, saving web pages for the Wayback Machine) and the two follow-up comments are about arXiv.– Dave L RenfroCommented Aug 8, 2023 at 18:26

2@paulgarrett: The AMS’s Open Math Notes is devoted to archiving things like expository papers and advanced course notes. You might want to think about using them to host your stuff.– Andy PutmanCommented Aug 9, 2023 at 1:48

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Use tags that describe what your question is about, not what it merely relates to. For example almost every question on this site is eventually related to research, but only questions about performing research should be tagged research.
Use tags describing circumstances only if those circumstances are essential to your question. For example, if you have a question about citations that came up during writing a thesis but might as well have arisen during writing a paper, do not tag it with thesis.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. graduate-admissions), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
