N wroteth -But I understand Glen being careful about sending it out to a list that archives such that the paper is effectively been placed in a public repository.For what it's worth: My values tell me that:An author may always circulate his own work for the advancement of his career and the further development of his thought. I would never, EVER, turn down a sincere request to see my work on ANY ground whatsoever. Others on the list, I know, have strong feelings about increasing exposure/circulation of Scientific Publications. (Information just wants to be free). I agree with them in spirit, but understand that the publishers who are trying to make money (and presumably) help us get our work out are confounded by the shift from print to electronic publication and the challenges to their making the money it takes to pay the editors and others to add the value we all expect them to. I think we all agree that edited/refereed publications are important to us all. If all scientific publication reduced to self-published monographs, we would be reduced to trying to get our science by reading blogs. I'm a big fan of blogging, but I think there is still an important place for editors and referees. That said, I hope Glen (and others) *will* freely circulate their work to their colleagues according to their own judgement about what supports their work (and Science in general) vs what undermines it (breaking contracts or good faith understandings?). - S N .
