The root of the question seems to do with page numbers.� If
someone wants to reference a particular page, the page numbers
on the author's manuscript archived in the IR won't match the
page numbers on the publisher's formatted version.� We include
the full citation for all published works in our IR, and I
mention to faculty they can use that citation to locate the
published work (and page number), but that sort of defeats the
purpose of Open Access.� I've also suggested that faculty cite
the item in the IR as a web resource, but that doesn't address
to their liking the issue of citing a specific page.

Has anyone else run into this situation?� Any ideas or
suggestions will be greatly appreciated.


Tell authors to cite section and paragraph number instead. (Articles
are cited by their usual journal bibliographic reference -- author,
date, title, journal, volume, issue, pages -- and quoted passages are
specified by section and para #.)
