preprint services

Here's a set of materials that would be useful to go into the web, if
it isn't there already. If there are clients out there that support
"reply to owner of node" that would be a way to support a direct
interface to email based services -- if I recall right the EIES system
has some of that in it.

I guess sometimes things don't work right. Oh well.

Here a list following up on our discussion last night at SEMiSLUG.

Some things I've found on preprint servers, following up on our
SEMiSLUG discussion last night...

Starting from April 1992, fully automated bulletin boards
for preprints in physics and mathematics are available
at SISSA (International School for Advanced Studies), Trieste,
Italy. The service is free and people are welcome to use it.

Preprints can be submitted and retrieved. It is also possible
to subscribe to a daily distribution list, containing authors
and abstracts of the papers just submitted to the board.

The boards are operated by sending commands by e-mail to
the appropriate Internet address:

- [email protected] for condensed matter physics
- [email protected] for astrophysics
- [email protected] for functional analysis

An analogous service, based on the same software, is
provided by Los Alamos National Lab for high energy
physics preprints:

- [email protected] for high energy physics, theory
- [email protected] for high energy physics, phenomenological

Preprints are in TeX/LaTeX format. Facilities to use special
macros are available. Figures in PostScript format may be
also submitted. Anonymous ftp access is also possible.
For further details, instructions, disclaimers, etc, please
send a mail with Subject: help to the address of the desired
board.

The servers I am aware of are:

[email protected] (algebraic geometry)
[email protected] (astrophysics)
[email protected] (condensed matter)
[email protected] (functional analysis, n.b.: not fun-anal)
[email protected] (computational and lattice physics)

[email protected] (general relativity / quantum cosmology)
[email protected] ...a duplicate of the above archive...

[email protected] (high energy physics phenomenological)
[email protected] ...a duplicate of the above archive...

[email protected] (high energy physics formal)
[email protected] ...a duplicate of the above archive...

[email protected] (liquid crystals, optical materials)
[email protected] (e-mail address database)

Notice that the last one is not a preprint server but an e-mail address
database.

Notice also that qc-gr, hep-ph, and hep-th archives are duplicated
at two sites; so choose the nearer one.

To get the basic information file from any server, send mail to that
server with the Subject line set as "Subject: help".
