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.
Thanks,
Guillermo

Subject: Re: Survey of Users and Non-Users of Eprint Archives
If you provide an Online Archive, we would be grateful it you could
display the following banner on its site for a few weeks, for the
survey of Archive Users we are conducting from Southampton University
and eprints.org
If you have an alerting service for your Archive, it would also be a
great help to us if you could send out the message below the banner.
Many thanks,

I would be very grateful if you could participate in a survey we are
conducting on current users and non-users of Eprint Archives.
http://www.eprints.org/survey/
The purpose of the survey is to determine who is and is not using such
archives at this time, how they use them if they do, why they do not
use them if they do not, and what features they would like to have
added to them to make them more useful. (The survey is anonymous.
Revealing your identity is optional and it will be kept confidential.)
The survey consists of about web-based 72 questions, and comes in four
versions:
PHYSICISTS, ASTROPHYSICISTS, MATHEMATICIANS
1. arXiv Users
2. arXiv Non-Users
COGNITIVE SCIENTISTS (Psychologists, Neuroscientists, Behavioral
Biologists, Computer Scientists [AI/robotics/vision/speech/learning],
Linguists, Philosophers)
3. CogPrints Users
4. CogPrints Non-Users
OTHER DISCIPLINES: Please use either 2. or 4.
