Metalist of open access eprint archives: the genesis of institutional archives and independent services http://opcit.eprints.org/archive-metalist.html "This is not a list of individual open access archives of full-text research papers, but instead lists and comments on other lists of individual archives. This list and its categorisation gives a broad overview of the structure, size and progress of full-text open access eprint archives. "This list will be maintained and updated as far as is possible, and is intended to assist further quantitative research on the open access eprint phenomenon for those who want to measure the growth and quality of open access eprint archives." Steve Hitchcock, Southampton University Note added by moderator: Data on the numbers and growth of eprint archives of various kinds are available in figures 15-25 of the powerpoint series of 37 in: http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/Temp/self-archiving.ppt http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/Temp/self-archiving.htm
