Toll-free link Link resides in IR rather than final post print

Allows continued and consistent collection and analysis of usage and citation data

It is clear to a casual reader which version of an article is the final and authoritative one

Less likely to cause subscription cancellation and undermine the revenue streams that fund the publication process, including peer-review

Institutional Repositories: an alternative model?

Summary

Research communities from different disciplines have different requirements

Authors have different needs to readers

A wide variety of types of research publication are necessary to meet these diverse requirements

Maximising cost effective access to research information is unlikely to be achieved by a single model

No access model can compensate for inadequate funding of the research communication system
