The main problem for extending the arxiv model to biology, chemistry and medicine are patents related to the researchs. It seems to me that very seldomly patents can be applied to your work. A connection with the existing and widely known arxiv system could provide a strong initial impulse to the enterprise.Giovanni Rastellinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116259103207720939.post-6569420099107120512011-11-19T17:42:44.258-05:002011-11-19T17:42:44.258-05:00Arxiv is well know, but unfortunately the model is...Arxiv is well know, but unfortunately the model is not common outside your fields.

Almost every paper is submitted to arxiv.org as a preprint before to be sent to journals for peer-reviewing. I strongly suggest you to visit the site <br /><br />http://arxiv.org/<br /><br />where more than 700.000 preprints are easily available in several formats. At the bottom of the homepage you can find details about the arxiv organization as well as a contact link.Giovanni Rastellinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116259103207720939.post-46793713293229006972011-11-19T01:57:04.297-05:002011-11-19T01:57:04.297-05:00Yes, on the whole these archives are findable easi...Yes, on the whole these archives are findable easily enough. But they represent a huge corpus of literature made accessible in open access, and otherwise locked up in print or behind paywalls, so some sort of index seems useful. If such a thing can be done.Chuck Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12882192031767315365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116259103207720939.post-42090921198868135772011-11-18T16:47:04.086-05:002011-11-18T16:47:04.086-05:00One thought - to what extent are these various rep...One thought - to what extent are these various repositories already indexed by Google? I am not sure how open to Google most University IRs are, but one would think that would be desired, right? (Phoebe, garbled brain on Friday)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
