A very relevant paper has been drafted by a group of scientists (and
even a couple of publishers) on behalf of the AAAS. The paper attempts
to define 'publication' in the digital environment, and essentially
comes up with two definitions - 'first publication' and 'formal
publication'. Please do have a look at it, and communicate your
thoughts to the list. The paper is about to be revised, but the current
version is available via www.alpsp.org.uk/def.htm
