Other glossaries
arXiv.org
An archive of publications, created in 1991 by Paul Ginsparg, physicist. Publications
are submitted to a server in pre-publication form, archived, and are freely accessible
to all. In 16 years, 462,000 publications have been submitted. There are currently
about 257,000 connections daily.

BibTeX
Tool for creating bibliographies for LaTeX.
Creative commons
Creative Commons (CC) is a nonprofit organization that offers flexible copyright licenses for creative works. Creative Commons allows authors of texts, music, photos, etc. to share their work under a specific license they can define on the creative commons website.

Dublin Core
Standard for the simple description of electronic information resources. The
Dublin Core standard includes a set of 16 items (such as the title, author, format,
language, or audience) used to simply but efficiently describe an electronic
information resource (metadata).
http://dublincore.org/documents/usageguide/qualifiers.shtml
E-Journal in "Open Access"
A periodical, usually with a review committee, published in electronic format
and that is freely accessible. The list of all the periodicals with a review
committee and in access is available at the site DOAJ - Directory of Open
Access Journals.
http://www.doaj.org/
eprint
Scientific article published in electronic format (or another literary object).
"Green" publishers
Classification for differentiating reviews according to their editorial policy:
GREEN = publisher agrees to self-archiving of pre-publications (pre-print) and
published articles (post-print);
Pale GREEN (or YELLOW) = publisher agrees to self-archiving of pre-publication;
BLUE= publisher agrees to self-archiving of the published article (access to
pre-publication must then be deleted).
Statistics as of February 2008: 91% of journals are either Green or Pale Green.

HAL (Hyper Article en Ligne)
HAL is both a program and an interface, enabling authors to submit drafts of
scientific articles in all fields to the national open archive. HAL is an open,
multidisciplinary archive with global scope.
http://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr
HAL-INRIA
HAL-INRIA is an open archive based on the HAL application whose submission and
viewing interface is adapted to ITC (Information and Communication Technologies).
This interface was developed by a joint INRIA and Centre de Communication Scientifique
Directe (CCSD) team.
Submitting an article on HAL-INRIA also feeds the HAL and arXiv open
archives.

Harvester OA
A harvester is a program that collects metadata from one or more OAI
open archives or warehouses (databases that support the OAI-PMH protocol).
LaTeX
LaTeX is a page layout language used to generate documents with high typographical
quality and a strictly consistent presentation.
TeX and LateX are alternatives to word processing software such as Microsoft
Word. They are mainly used by the scientific community. TeX offers extensive
features for handling equations and mathematical formulae
Metadata
Set of structured data describing physical or digital resources, for the purpose
of sharing the information and for the interoperability of electronic resources
(e.g. date, author, title, journal name, etc.).
OAI (Open Archive Initiative)
Protocol that ensures the interoperability of various open archives. This protocol
describes techniques for querying databases and their description. The term "open
archives" refers both to access open to all, and to the open systems
underlying the search engines for globally indexing (harvesting) publications.
http://www.openarchives.org/

OAI-PMH protocol
(Open Archive Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting)
Rules concerning the method for describing documents: their metadata. This
protocol results from the OAI initiative and specifies that the metadata must
obey the Dublin Core standard.
http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/openarchivesprotocol.htm
Open access
The international output of researchers made available over the public
Internet, by the researchers themselves or their dependents, associated
with the right to read, copy, download, use, print, and distribute the output,
or for any other licit purpose, without financial, legal, or technical limitations.
The only legitimate concern imposed on the reuse, distribution, or highlighting
of the documents is the recognition of the author(s)' authorship, the guarantee
that the authors can control the integrity of their work, and the right
to be correctly recognized and cited.
Open Access Server or "repository"
Server where researchers or their institution store publications via an
Open Source program that can interoperate with the other servers. Not
to be confused with referencing servers, "OA harvesters", links
databases, and occasionally citations to open archives servers.
Open archive
The term open archive designates a data repository generated via scientific research
and teaching, accessible over the Internet and that is freely accessible. This
openness is made possible by the use of protocols enabling interoperability with
other servers.
You can archive pre-publications, as well as official publications, if you respect
certain conditions defined by publishers. These conditions are currently undergoing
change. See the following Sherpa/Romeo.
Pre-print
Version of an article before evaluation by peers (working document or document
submitted for publication).
Post-Print
Version of an article after evaluation by peers, generally accepted for publication.
There are both the final version submitted by the author to the publisher (final
draft post-refereeing) and the definitive versions published by the publisher
at its site. Very few publishers authorize self-archiving of their version.
Self-archiving
Submission of scientific output by the author on a public server, preferably
in an open archive. In November 2004, 39% of researchers were using self-archiving.
Sherpa / Romeo
Site with information on the editorial policy of 369 publishers (February 2008). It lists
the publishers of scientific journals who authorize or prohibit self-archiving
by authors. Refer to this site (which is updated regularly) to view the rules
applied by each publisher.
