Yes; I think that this is publication. And I think that
what happens when someone puts an article on an
e-repository, whether refereed or not, is so similar to
what you describe that it falls into the same category, if
categories is what we are talking about.

Can I seek information about a topic which might constitute a new
thread?
I have been concerned for a little while about how one goes
about "authenticating" a document, lets say an eprint.
Authenticating means, inter alia, two things
a) Is the author authentic, and how can one check this
b) Ha
For the avoidance of any doubt (I hope!), let me make it clear. Writing
something down on one piece of paper is not publishing it, in any
sense. Stevan Harnad seems to be implying that because there is
copyright in a statement, that means it is published. Not so. The
concept of copyright can exist

I think it is necessary for me to make a further
contribution to this discussion.
We need to be clear that a communication with deliberately
limited circulation (category 1 as defined by Stevan
Harnad)is not published in any sense of the term. It is
emphatically not "published" in the legal sense
Exponential and linear are examples of mathematical terms whose
lay connotations have strayed somewhat from their rigorous meanings.
Many people say "exponentially" when they really mean "quickly", as in
"journal prices are rising exponentially". If journal prices rose by
0.5% per year (for the sa

Actually, copyright exists in the same force for items not published as for
items published. The only difference really exists in the sense that sales
can be hurt for commercially published materials. However, if someone
violates your copyright by publishing a work that you had written, since you
