Both. Actually, opposed is probably too strong of a word here. I'm disinclined, but there isn't really a better option. Currently, people usually just cite the website, for whatever that's worth. http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=cython > This is probably the only paper in a "real" journal for some time, and > citations are going to boost the authors' citation counts.

Or at least look into this more carefully. Some of CiSE's papers are open access, I (naively) thought ours wouldn't be hard to get to either. It is a nice paper though and I think it'll hit a nice audience (who primarily won't even be aware that they're paying through it indirectly through university overhead and monolithic library subscriptions). > Posting the pre-print is a matter of making the necesarry references within > it and formatting it. > > http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/search.php?jrule=ISSN&search=1521-9615 > <http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/search.php?jrule=ISSN&search=1521-9615> > > I'll fix it and post a link later today.
