I don't think that scanning a printout retains any metadata that was in the electronic source so, no, this would not follow using the same logic. I do agree that dissemination of results is one of the most important parts of the scientific process. The argument here is, I think, what is the best way to support dissemination. Eating your own dog food, is a separate matter, I think. Eating your own dog good may help with uptake, but on the other hand it may interfere with dissemination, by making preparation of papers harder or making them harder to review or read. peter On 10/06/2014 10:09 AM, Martynas Jusevičius wrote: > Following the same logic, we still could have been using paper > submissions?
