--- abstract: " Preprints are drafts of a research paper before peer review and postprints are drafts of a research paper after peer review. Researchers have always given away their preprints and postprints in order to increase the impact of their work. The online age has at last made it possible for researchers to maximize their work's visibility, usage and impact by self-archiving their preprints and postprints in institutional Eprint Archives, making them openly accessible to all would-be users worldwide." altloc: [] chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: - 63 creators_name: - family: Harnad given: Stevan honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2003 date_type: published datestamp: 2003-06-19 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/30/19 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 3019 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/text_html.png;/3019/1/eprints.htm full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: inpress issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: ~ lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:55:18 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: 4 pagerange: ~ pubdom: FALSE publication: Encyclopedia of Library and Information Science publisher: Marcel Dekker refereed: FALSE referencetext: |2 Crow, Raym (2002) The Case for Institutional Repositories: A SPARC Position Paper. http://www.arl.org/sparc/IR/ir.html Harnad, S.
