Dr. Anna Grazia Chiodetti, our chief librarian here at Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, asked me to forward the following information to geology and geophysics related mailing lists, so I am eagerly disseminating this. Thank you for your time and check out http://www.earth-prints.org Best wishes, Jacopo Taddeucci ------- Earth Prints -------- Earth-prints Open Archive aims to satisfy the increasing demand of fast, up-to-date, easy-accessible, and free-of-charge sources of information in all branches of Geosciences. It allows earth scientists to deposit electronic documents into its collections and to index them by subjects and keywords. Earth-prints provides a time-stamp to all deposited materials to insure precedence rights to original ideas and scientific results. It deals with copyright issues through Creative Common standards that offer a wide variety of licenses. All deposited material is made immediately available to the public. Subscribers will be sent a daily newsletter according to the topics they have signed in. The archive has a three-level hierarchical structure. The top level includes Atmosphere, Cryosphere, Hydrosphere, Solid Earth and General. It then branches into several disciplines within the other two levels. Collections include different kinds of documents, such as pre-prints, manuscripts, published papers, conference materials, books, book chapters, posters, theses, Web products and databases. Earth-Prints main language is English but it accepts also documents in other languages , giving visibility to data and studies at local scale that are indeed of general interests. An abstract in English is always required. Have a tour into the many features of Earth-prints.
