Dear Stevan: > From your mail I see there is no administrator of files posted in Internet using OAI. May be it has been already discussed in the Forum--I am sorry if it indeed was--but I have two questions:
1. How can a reader differentiate a non-validated--non peer-reviewed--archive from a validated peer-reviewed version? 2. How can this system avoid the possibility of charlatans posting their non peer-reviewed or even rejected papers using OAI? As far as I know, any person outside the journal/publishers sites can post them.
