ArXiv, TechRxiv (owned by IEEE) and HAL are pre-print repositories where scientific papers can be submitted as proof of precedence, so that the ideas do not get scooped. Especially when you are submitting a paper to a journal, it's better to put it on a pre-print repository, because the journal's review process can take very long and the process of making corrections and resubmitting can take many years until the paper finally gets published.
But there may be conferences or journals which may not allow authors to publish their work on pre-print repositories, because it would interfere with the double-blind review process.

These are conferences/journals which allow authors to publish on ArXiv:
- IEEE allows it. They have some formal policies about it.
- Elsevier allows it.
- Springer allows it.
These are conferences/journals that don't allow it:
- KDD. Prior to 2019, KDD used to allow pre-prints on ArXiv.
