Organizing scientific work on the internet
How to archive preprints? One server desirable in theory In practice: allow multiple experiments, see which works (already have several in operation) Ginsparg: would perhaps construct a different system if starting today experimentation could help arrive at best model
Indexing and preserving archive Central site will index and archive preprints from all sites. Housed at NLM? Preprint must abide by agreed-upon standards to be indexed (like Pubmed, ArXiv) Governing body of stakeholders will set policies, standards.
Features of preprint archive Follow open standards DOI assigned Allow versioning; preserves all versions Retracted preprints noted as is case with papers Multilingual (w/abstract in English) Will require personnel who can understand article, determine if it meets minimum standards. Provide metrics
Features of preprint archive Include identifier as to whether paper is preprint published in journal endorsed by post-publication review Allow commenting
Other issues Authorship how to vouch? Have senior author respond on behalf of all authors? What to call the different versions? Should we even use the term, preprint ? Proposal: Have community-wide competition to decide on names
