(1) I don't know the Webometrics ranking formula, but it is
clearly based on multiple weighted parameters, and not merely
on total number of records (country, size, visibility, rich
files, scholar), otherwise the rank order would have been
recalcitrant or lazy non-performers, but that is generally
acceptable. The really active researchers are usually the compliers.

import only in the
humanities and some social sciences, but there, they are the dominant currency
- there is no risk of placing the archiving, green road in jeopardy.
Books are also important for Economics, Business, Law and similar professions.

, the number N may increase as a result of the new option, some
people may want to acquire both V1 and V2 versions, etc. But this is what
needs proof, as Stevan writes. A priori version 2 will damage version V1
sales.

I attach a draft copy of a paper I am preparing to send to the
Australian Minister for research assessment Kim Carr, the two
research councils, and maybe the Federation of Scientific and
Technological Societies (FASTS).
I am going squinty eyed rewriting and redrafting and
The evidence is quite clear that advocacy does not work by itself, and never
has worked anywhere. To repeat the bleeding obvious once again: depositing
in repositories is avoidable work under a voluntary regime, and like all
avoidable work it will be avoided by most academics, even if perceived to
will be driven by economic issues outside academic control
and (b) since after the transition overall publication costs are
likely to decline.

Two other factors come into the Australian scene, for anyone new to this
list. They may be interesting too.
(1) Every Australian university must have a repository (and is funded for it
by the Dept of Education Science Training - DEST) by end 2007 - or be in a
consortium arrangement. Otherwise it
, between the UK and Australia, they'll get it right. In the meantime
we may have the better compromise here, since it encourages deposit, in
which metadata is the by-product.

So a better contemporaneous record for deposits
, such as computer
science. Exposure of the article leads to interest by others who will seek
to get a copy even before the end of an embargo, and thence to possible
citations.

subscription funds (indeed there remains pressure to increase them) but
about positioning the University of Tasmania's research in the global arena
and making it widely accessible.

Here are some statistics you might find
to print all the subfiles and re-assemble them.
In my experience this only applies to long documents such as PhD theses, for
example the Australian Digital Theses Program advises this poor practice.
