Distributed ArchivesOpen Archives (OAI) - http://www.openarchives.org/
Santa Fe protocol lays the foundation for archive software
Each archive stores the paper, title, abstract, authors, subject, unique world id
No access restrictions
Archive information is exportable into archive “services”, e.g. global search engines
Free and freely-available archive software: www.eprints.org
Anyone can create an archive; institution, company or individual

Why Distributed?Distributed Archives offer the potential to have all Scientific Literature online, inter-operable, free-to-access and inter-serviceable
Distributed Institution-based archives will encourage authors to self-archive more than centralised services - Institution policies
The Institution Archive opens self-archiving to all disciplines (costs are minimal and eventually lead to serials budget savings)
Distributed Open Archiving promises the global citation “link” - click a citation and you are instantly taken to the full paper text, regardless of discipline or location

Freeing the Refereed Literature OnlinePeer reviewers perform their service for journals for free, the results should be freed
Archiving the embryology of research; from pre-print to post-print and beyond - the e-Print
Placing existing research online to allow research to be accessible forever, anywhere, without restriction: Access-barriers are impact-barriers

Accessibility without ConstraintResearchers no longer have to be constrained by their institution’s limited budgets for subscriptions, site-licenses and pay-per-view
Remedying the non-anglo-saxon and developing world’s extra disadvantages, both in the visibility of their own research to the rest of the world (impact barriers) and in the accessibility of the rest of the rest of the world’s research to non-anglo-saxon and developing world researchers
Re-engaging the Internet-age student with peer-reviewed scientific research, readily accessible from any computer, anywhere
Why should publicly funded research be financially firewalled?

“High Impact” is centred around big institutions/Western journals
No institution can afford the national journals from all countries; therefore non-mainstream countries disadvantaged
Distributed archives level the playing field both for Researcher/Providers (visibility, impact) and Researcher/Users (access)

New Metrics of Research ImpactDistributed interoperable archives give rise to rich new ways of analysing research impact:
Impact factors based on all research, not just selected journals
Co-citation and citation “webs”
Reading factors - “hit” counts
A “new age” of Scientometric analysis
