Very useful paper for those with an interest in metadata and indexing. The first third of the paper discusses open access publishing; good stuff, a nice review, but not really new. The second third is a useful discussion of indexing services and techniques currently extant, drawing from both commercial and non-commercial services. Finally, the authors discuss their own proposal, and following a survey process, recommend the integration of parsing tools into institutional repository software to ease metadata creation, a distributed, harvest-based system for metadata indexing ("Do not have one body/organisation to produce/maintain the citations. Make references and citations available for harvesting and use by anyone who is interested"), support for reference-linking, and much more. Good discussion, great research. Via EdNA.
