Colin Steele, E-prints: the future of scholarly communication?
inCite, October 2002. "Will 2002 be seen as the watershed year when
the Open Archives Initiative (OAI) really took off and began to
have an impact on global scholarly communication? The OAI develops
and promotes interoperability standards that aim to facilitate the
efficient dissemination of content. The Eprints.org free software is
OAI compliant and enables institutional archiving with appropriate
harvesting." Steele's survey of eprint archiving progress is especially
strong on recent developments in Australia.
