Their relative merits were considered, addressing not only technical concerns but also how e-print provision (by authors) can be achieved – an essential factor for an effective e-print delivery service (for users). A "harvesting" model is recommended, where the metadata of articles deposited in distributed archives are harvested, stored and enhanced by a national service. This model has major advantages over the alternatives of a national centralized service or a completely decentralized one. Options for the implementation of a service based on the harvesting model are presented. date: 2005 date_type: published publication: Learned Publishing volume: 18 number: 1 pagerange: 25-40 refereed: FALSE referencetext: UK House of Commons Science and Technology Select Committee Recommendations: http://www.publications. parliament.uk/pa/cm200304/cmselect/cmsctech/399/39903.htm National Institutes of Health recommendations: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/cpquery/?&db_id=cp108&r_n=hr636.108&sel=TOC_338641& Rowland, F., Swan, A., Needham, P., Probets, S., Muir, A., Oppenheim, C., O?Brien, A. and Hardy, R.
