Duke's ePrint distributed printing system allows you to print a job again without running back to your computer. After you retrieve your job at a print station, the job goes back into the print queue for 15 minutes. If you need to reprint the job within that timeframe, just swipe your DukeCard at any station and choose the job out of the list of available jobs in your print queue.
A preprint is an academic journal article in draft form, prior to peer review. A postprint is a name given to a journal article once it has been peer reviewed. Both of these types of documents are known collectively as eprints.
There has been a movement since the early 1990s to make preprints available online, to aid the speed at which scientific knowledge can be disseminated. This movement began with ArXiv, a physics focused preprint server which has expanded to cover computer science, mathematics and other sciences.
The sharing of preprints online has expanded to other disciplines. This video mentions biological sciences, but there are also computer science-focused sources of preprints, which you can discover on this guide.
Journal peer review can be a slow process. Rapid dissemination of research ideas and data benefits researchers, their funders, and the public. Preprints provide a mechanism for authors to receive more rapid feedback on their research.
Preprints can lead to greater reliability of research findings by fostering broad collaborations, improving the speed to sharing research findings, providing greater transparency to the communication cycle, and increasing the accessibility of findings
There are a wide range of online repositories for preprints and eprints. Some focus on a particular discipline, while others may host documents produced by a specific institution such as a university or research centre. We've listed some of the most relevant sources of preprints for Computing and Communications here for you!
Many preprint services will perform basic checks for plagiarism and non-scientific content, and some may have communities of editors who quality check papers. If you find a preprint that is more than a few months old it would be worth checking for a final published version: you can do that by searching for the paper title or author on OneSearch or another database.
APS organized and sponsored a meeting at Los Alamos on Oct. 14-15, 1994 intended mainly to explore the rapidly burgeoning use of the Internet for the presentation of early versions of articles, prior to submission to archival journals, and prior to refereeing. APS considers this phenomenon to be directly relevant to its primary mission of advancing and diffusing the knowledge of physics, and at the same time it is naturally interested, and even concerned, over the impact this new mode of dissemination will have on its own research journals. Accordingly we took the initiative in bringing together a variety of individuals representing the main groups involved in the generation, distribution and use of these so-called "eprint archives". These included developers of eprint archives, librarians, editors, APS and AIP representatives, representatives from several non-US physics societies, representatives from several non-physics societies that have been actively engaged in similar projects, as well as a representative from a government granting agency and a legal expert on copyright and intellectual property issues.
The workshop was organized entirely on the Internet; I don't think that a single paper communication reached anyone. About 80 people attended. It started with a dinner and a keynote address by Paul Ginsparg on Oct. 14, went through the full day on Oct. 15, and ended with a dinner that evening. Apart from the fact that the weather was bad and the meeting room was completely without heat (Harry Lustig wore a scarf and had to borrow a parka from Michael Keller to keep marginally warm), I believe that the meeting was quite successful, and accomplished its primary purpose, which was to explore the present and future ramifications of the eprint phenomenon, and to help us learn how to respond to it, in terms of both preserving our present very important (and successful) journal operation, and in moving to meet the challenges we are facing. No plan of action evolved, as how could it? In fact, from my own viewpoint the principal outcome of the meeting was to define not a course of action but a series of questions, which I will delineate later, and some feeling for how the answers to these questions will evolve with time.
In Paul Ginsparg's keynote address he outlined his views of the future of "eprint archives"--that is, of the posting of papers on line, available to all, basically free, as soon as they are submitted. Eventually some sort of selection, other than the obvious elimination of nutty papers, will be included, as well as all sorts of enhancements previously unimagined, such as past and future linkages to other articles, ad hoc comments by readers, etc. Already there is an enormous volume of papers in high energy physics, primarily theoretical, that appears on the LANL hep database, ever growing. The printed journals as they currently exist have a dismal future, Ginsparg believes. He hopes that APS has sufficient foresight and vision to acknowledge this situation and to make an effort to adjust its mission of "advancing and diffusing" the knowledge of physics, taking into account the electronic revolution that is taking place before our eyes.
Harry Lustig commented that in fact our journals are growing at a rate greater than 8% per year, and in Physical Review D the growth in theoretical high energy physics papers (the principal subject of eprint archiving) was far greater than 8% per year--a phenomenon that does not seem to suffer from the eprint challenge. How does Ginsparg account for this? His answer, not entirely satisfactory in my opinion, was that submission to journals was essentially free, the additional effort to submit to journals being insignificantly greater than that required to post on the Internet. Probably the reasons for our growth are more complex than this.
In introducing the first panel, I again raised the question of growth. Despite the looming clouds on the horizon, a (maybe the) principal problem of our journals relates to their success, as represented by the unprecedented growth in submissions. APS and its members are and should be proud of the preeminence that its journals have achieved in the scientific community. Growth causes considerable concern because of its inevitable impact on library budgets, the sheer volume and mass of our journals, and the difficulty of the individual scientist in coping with the flood of information. These are, in fact, among the principal reasons for our interest in moving towards electronic publishing, of which eprint is one aspect. Growth is of such concern to us that a special Task Force on Journal Growth has been established, with Eugen Merzbacher as Chair, to study the problem in an attempt to understand it, and to recommend means for controlling it. Maurice Rice, one of our panelists, is a member of this Task Force.
Pat Kreitz, from SLAC, discussed and demonstrated the SPIRES hep database. This database currently contains bibliographic summaries of more than 280,000 (!) particle physics papers, including preprints, journal articles, technical reports, theses, etc, some fully formatted. Most of the SPIRES preprints come from Ginsparg's LANL database. Kreitz was abetted by Annette Holtkamp of DESY, which cooperates with SLAC on the hep data base. An important question was asked of Kreitz and Holtkamp: why is hep theory so dominant in eprint? They opined that this is partly attributable to the fact that the hep community has many decades of tradition in the distribution of paper preprints behind it, so that going online seems like a natural continuation of this long tradition. It will take a while before other physics communities acquire the habit.
R. Youngen, of the American Mathematical Society, described the debate going on within AMS right now: should electronic preprints be encouraged or discouraged? The balance appears to be emerging on the positive side, and accordingly AMS is planning to set up a preprint server. Their copyright policy seems to be that it remains with the author. They will withdraw articles from the server after publication, with a pointer remaining to indicated same. Their biggest problem, not surprisingly, in the tracking of preprint to published paper, is how to maintain journal revenue.
W. Taylor, MIT, a user, is concerned that online access to unvetted articles might prematurely endanger printed journals. He took a cautionary tone, basically urging care in moving into the electronic future. He did offer an image of the future journal fully integrated into a hypertext network. He presented two scenarios--pessimistic and optimistic. For the former, journals would be weakened, diluted by volunteer-run online eprints, for the latter, journals would acquire a far more flexible format than they currently possess; acceptance of articles for publication will be greatly accelerated. There will inevitably be a redefining of the research journal's mission, to concentrate mostly on good editing and providing maximum information.
A. Cohen, Boston U, spoke about the journal of the future--a complete database, organized with sufficient flexibility to satisfy the changing needs of the physics community and of the physicists themselves. He felt that there should be some sort of ranking system for eprints.
Paul Berman, of the law firm Covington and Burling, is a copyright and patent specialist. Covington and Burling is APS's principal legal advisor. Berman gave a very thoughtful and comprehensive review of these issues, as they relate to eprint archives. His views as to what constitute publication were fairly strict; he is very confident that posting something on an electronic bulletin board for free or on any readily accessible basis most definitely constitutes publication, legally speaking. This is in principle different than a paper preprint distribution which usually is limited to a relatively small (not more than a few hundred) circulation. Electronic posting is without control, so that the potential audience for an eprint can be as large as you want. The courts would surely interpret this as publication (although this has mostly not yet been tested in the courts). Operators of eprint archives are publishers! It is very important to know who owns the copyright--we are in a new era with no definite answers. The situation is very confusing.
