Electronic publications archive

Organization

This archive contains an incremental list of research reports as published e.g. as departmental reports. The idea is to offer a possibility of making such reports available to researchers in this field in a significantly faster way than through ordinary journals, but still in a documented fashion so that the date of appearance is well defined. Also, the conventional, confidential peer review preceding publication is here replaced by a mechanism for public review after publication. The archive provides space for two kinds of commentary: reviews and opinions about one particular article, and broader reviews of articles in a given area or approach.

The structure of the archive is as follows. Each author submitting an article is required to submit electronic files with the following contents:

When this information has been received by the archive. the article is entered into the listing for the current month. The archive then contains a header page containing links to the three above-mentioned files, as well as to commentary pertaining to the article. This list of commentary is continuously extended as new contributions are coming in.

For each month, there is news file containing links to articles that have been submitted during that month, and to commentary which were received during the month.
