The first answer is that of course commentary (or anything) can be kept
private. All deposits to an Eprint Archive first go into the buffer,
and whoever is managing that buffer can either exclude "commentary" or
first send it to the author on whose paper it is based, according to
policy, which is up to the institution.

Second, the whole Archive can be made nonpublic, should one so wish.
(That is not the purpose of open access, but the software is flexible
enough so it can be used that way if an institution wishes.)

But third: What is commentary? Eprint Archives are intended for
faculty research output, both unrefereed preprints and refereed
postprints. In both these categories there will be papers that cite the
papers of others, and are hence "commentary". (Does the Dean of the
faculty think that what authors write, or is written about them, needs
to be monitored by the university?)

As it happens, I am the editor (for nearly a quarter century) of a
peer-reviewed paper journal devoted exclusively to articles with "open
peer commentary" (Behavioral and Brain Sciences, published by Cambridge
University Press: http://www.bbsonline.org) as well as the editor (for
over a decade) of a peer-reviewed online journal likewise devoted to
articles plus commentary (Psycoloquy:
http://www.cogsci.soton.ac.uk/cgi/psyc/newpsy ). 

Peer commentary (not to be confused with formal peer review, for which
it is a supplement, but not a substitute) is open review. It is as old as
scholarship itself. It is not something that needs to be treated as a
special case and suppressed! Moreover, it is something that is actively
sought by authors, as a form of impact and recognition. A university
need not protect its authors from it!

Perhaps your Dean is confusing peer review and open peer commentary:
Eprints can also be used as (part of) a peer-review system for a
journal, in which case referee reports submitted to the buffer are not
made public, but only available to the editor, referees and authors.

Or perhaps your Dean is thinking of informal or even improper comments,
not intended for or worthy of being made public. That is of course a
matter for the judgment of the Eprint Archive's manager, the one in
charge of the buffer. An Archive can exercise as much selectivity, and
make its archiving policy as constrained or as unconstrained as it
chooses.

But it should be remembered that a University Eprint Archive is not (in
general) meant to be a refereed journal. It is meant to publicly archive
(i.e., render openly accessible) the research output of its faculty,
which includes pre-refereeing preprints and post-refereeing postprints.
Within the category of pre-refereeing preprints (or, in the case of
items that have been accepted by journals like Behavioral and Brain
Sciences or Psycoloquy, within the category of published postprints)
there will be items such as commentaries or review papers.

Most Eprint Archives will want to do light filtering to exclude
obviously inappropriate material such as pornography, spam, quackery,
perhaps also deposits by anyone not affiliated with the university, or
material otherwise deemed unsuitable. But it is not at all clear that
they will want to regard formal commentary as such. On the contrary, it
is much more likely that the open-access era will spawn a much larger
and richer body of peer interaction and feedback in the form of both
published and unpublished peer commentary than was ever possible in the
printed medium, to the considerable benefit of research progress
itself.

Has anyone tried to get eprints 2 to work with Mac OS X?

I have Apache & MySQL running on OS X so it seems eprints should also work.

Any thoughts or recommendations?

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Kat,

I just wanted to touch base with you to see how things are going. Have you
been getting any folks with collections? Has Mike figured out our little
harvester yet? How is the survey getting along? Gotten any responses yet
from the DLF letter that went out?

YuPing has been working on more extensive documentation for the Java
harvester and I hope he'll have that done within the next couple of days.

One thing I'm think about is that since version 2.0 of the OAI Protocol is
soon to be released, it might be difficult to convince potential metadata
providers to do anything before it comes out. We hope to re-vamp our OAI
Provider tools to adjust for version 2.0 within the next month - but of
course these tools are developed for Windows environment and therefore may
not be suitable for many folks. I suspect Jeff Young, from OCLC, will be
upgrading his provider tool  that is for a Unix environment.



Hope you're doing well.
Joanne

Dear Member:

I have just successfully installed Eprints 2.0. I was exploring the feature
of subject editing tool to add a new subject area. When I try to add a new
subject area, say for example, 'Computer Science' it does get added but it
gets added within parenthesis. How do I get over this problem?


thanks ver much in advance,

This took me a while to figure out!!!

When you add a subject eg. "fish" You add it and see

(fish) 

as the title. The parenthesis () indicate that it has not got a proper title
so it's just rendering the ID. The next thing you should do is add the title
for that subject, and select if people can use it as a subject (some subjects
are just "bags" to put other subjects in).

If you are running in more than one language you should enter a title for
each supported language.

Rick:

Here are some very specific, direct, concrete, and simple
institutional-infrastructural recommendations to add to yours. If they
are implemented by the Big Ten, other universities will follow suit.
Open Access can only come from the Golden Rule: All have to do it, in
order for all to have it.

An excellent model to follow is the one already adopted at CalTech:
http://www.arl.org/sparc/core/index.asp?page=g20#6

Here are the 6 steps to implement as University policy:
http://www.eprints.org/self-faq/#institution-facilitate-filling

How can an institution facilitate the filling of its Eprint Archives? 

		 (1) Install OAI-compliant Eprint Archives.
http://www.eprints.org/

		 (2) Adopt a university-wide policy that all faculty
		 maintain and update a standardised online curriculum
		 vitae (CV) for annual revue.
http://www-db.library.nottingham.ac.uk/ep1/information.html

		 (3) Mandate that the full digital text of all refereed
		 publications should be deposited in the University
		 Eprint Archives and linked to their entry in the
		 author's online CV. (Make it clear to all faculty how
		 self-archiving is in the interest of their own
		 research and standing, maximizing the visibility,
		 accessibility and impact of their work.)
http://www.nature.com/nature/debates/e-access/Articles/lawrence.html

		 (4) Offer trained digital librarian help in showing
		 faculty how to self-archive their papers in the
		 university Eprint Archive (it is very easy).
http://caltechlib.library.caltech.edu/help/

		 (5) Offer trained digital librarian help in doing
		 "proxy" self-archiving, on behalf of any authors who
		 feel that they are personally unable (too busy or
		 technically incapable) to self-archive for themselves.
		 They need only supply their digital full-texts in
		 word-processor form: the digital archiving assistants
		 can do the rest (usually only a few dozen keystrokes
		 per paper).
http://caltechlib.library.caltech.edu/information.html

		 (A policy of mandated self-archiving for all refereed
		 research, together with a trained proxy self-archiving
		 service, to ensure that lack of time or skill do not
		 become grounds for non-compliance, are the most
		 important ingredients in a successful self-archiving
		 program. The proxy self-archiving will only be needed
		 to set the first wave of self-archiving reliably in
		 motion. The rewards of self-archiving -- in terms of
		 visibility, accessibility and impact -- will maintain
		 the momentum once the archive has reached critical
		 mass. And even students can do for faculty the few
		 keystrokes needed for each new paper thereafter.)
http://www.cogsci.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/Tp/thes1.html

		 (6) Digital librarians, collaborating with web system
		 staff, should be involved in ensuring the proper
		 maintenance, backup, mirroring, upgrading, and
		 migration that ensures the perpetual preservation of
		 the university Eprint Archives. Mirroring and
		 migration should be handled in collaboration with
		 counterparts at all other institutions supporting
		 OAI-compliant Eprint Archives.

At the University of Padova we have installed EPRINTS 2.0 (version
released 14/02/2002),  which is running very well. Actually, we are in a

test phase. Moreover, we are experimenting for the best solutions as
regards our organizational and research context.
One of our first problems lies in the subject tree. It's not only a
matter of language, but mainly of names and structure; we could want to
implement the tree designed by the Italian Ministero dell'Università e
della Ricerca Scientifica e Tecnologica
<http://www.miur.it/atti/2000/alladm001004_01.htm>
or
<http://www.unipa.it/~cdl/guriall/guri2000/ott00/a01.htm>
as this scheme is the
official reference for Italian academics.
Our concern is about harvesting: how can we do for allowing our metadata

to be harvested, even if subject organization can be different from the
one given in the package?

Thank you

Hi. I've just changed the list configuration for eprints-tech
and eprints-underground to restrict posting to members of the
list only. We had started getting spam posted to the list,
which is very annoying.

I'm also sending this from a different email address than usual
as the mailing list server seems to get confused between
[email protected] and [email protected] (which is our
bug tracker). Apologies for any weirdness this has caused people.

This change will almost certainly cause a few people problems - 
those who are subscribed to an alias and post from their main
account.  If you have a problem, let me know and I'll add your 
email to the exceptions list.

Thanks, and sorry if this causes anyone problems.

chris.

(sorry for the weirdness, my mail settings were wrong and your mail got
sent to the wrong place)

You should not worry too much about the subjects being different to other
peoples. Most harvesters will harvest the entire contents of the archive.

Being able to harvest by subject is nice, but not very important.

You may also like to provide the "subjects" file you create to other
italian academics using eprints 2 so you have identical subject trees,
but don't worry too much at this stage.

How are people doing getting eprints 2 up and running? The only
registered "live" site is in Austria. (not counting ones I've set
up myself). But I've given support to dozens of people, so there
must be a whole bunch of sites in "limbo".

I'm guessing that people have worked through the technical side
and are now working on the human issues. These seem as significant
as the software issues.
