In his analysis of the papers on the LANL
server, Tim Brody tells us:
"The proportion of papers that have got
Journal-ref entries is 36.87%." This
would include those that are submitted
after formal publication rather than
being first submitted as preprints.
Thank you for your help. It appears that the physics

studied by Garvey and others.
