Because good research needs good data

Collaborative Business Model Changes Funding Structure

Joy Davidson | 22 January 2010

In a move to expand support for sustaining arXiv, Cornell University Library is broadening the funding base for the online scientific repository. Nearly 600,000 e-prints - research articles published online in physics, mathematics, statistics, computer science and related disciplines
- now reside in arXiv, which is an open information source for
hundreds of thousands of scientific researchers. arXiv will remain free for readers and submitters, but the Library has established a voluntary, collaborative business model to engage institutions that benefit most from arXiv.
