        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
        situation is much the same as the informal literature
        studied by Garvey and others.
