[Air-l] discussion on free papers

[Jason Rutter]

That's interesting.  Do you have the reference to hand?

Here at CRIC we did a bit or research on users of our online paper series
and found not only we people more likely to cite the e-papers that journal
papers but they were more likely to search out traditional journal articles
by cric authors. The cynic in me sort of presume this was just an anomaly
(read people just being nice) :-)
