Why is the date or year of publication usually missing from PDF versions of research publications?
Is this a convention, perhaps specific to certain fields? I find it frustrating at times and am curious as to the reason behind it.
Can you make an example? Usually the ones I find on Arxiv have it.
Actually I think it is me not seeing them. Some do have the date at the top header, like http://arxiv.org/abs/1401.5577
But most don't, nor in the footer or at the end of the paper.
I realise now I was looking in the wrong spot - papers like this https://intelligence.org/files/TowardIdealizedDecisionTheory.pdf have the date in the bottom left of the first page. Checking other PDF's shows the same thing, so I assume that is one of the standards?
