Their relative merits were considered, addressing not only technical concerns but also how e-print provision (by authors) can be achieved - an essential factor for an effective e-print delivery service (for users). A 'harvesting' model is recommended, where the metadata of articles deposited in distributed archives are harvested, stored and enhanced by a national service. This model has major advantages over the alternatives of a national centralized service or a completely decentralized one. Options for the implementation of a service based on the harvesting model are presented.", pages = "25-40(16)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/alpsp/lp/2005/00000018/00000001/art00005" doi = "doi:10.1087/0953151052801479" }
