		Moving on to a career as a fellow and later a junior professor at Harvard, Ginsparg often found himself enlisted to concoct hastily fashioned software programs that would solve, say, a problem in superstring theory--in which all the fundamental forces, including gravity, are explained in terms of vibrating strings.
		Ginsparg was accomplished enough as a physicist to have a subatomic particle, the Ginsparg-Wilson fermion, named after him and his thesis adviser, 1982 Nobelist Kenneth G. Wilson.
		Ginsparg's ideas are now actively solicited by the APS and other organizations, such as PubMed Central, a free archive of life sciences journals.

	Nature Debates: Los Alamos loses physics archive as preprint pioneer heads east (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Ginsparg says growing dissatisfaction with LANL is a major reason for his departure, citing a lack of enthusiasm for the archive among senior staff.
		Ginsparg says that consultation with the archive's advisory board, funding agencies and the American Physical Society, produced a consensus that the operation would enjoy more secure funding and stronger intellectual support at a university than at LANL.
		But for Ginsparg, the last straw was his recent salary review, which, he says, described him as "a strictly average performer by overall lab standards; with no particular computer skills contributing to lab programs; easily replaced, and moreover overpaid, according to an external market survey".

		Ginsparg called the article "an unfortunate exercise in tasteless journalism." He said salary issues were "irrelevant" to his decision to leave Los Alamos in favor of Cornell, where he earned a physics Ph.D. in August 1981.
		Ginsparg said, he's "getting ready in advance for my daughter's schooling" and locating closer to his sister and her family.
		Ginsparg "has done something quite innovative in creating the preprint database." In high-energy physics and other fields of theoretical physics, he said, it is the most-cited source of articles.

	Science News
		The archive is the product of nearly seven years of effort on the part of Paul Ginsparg, a 42-year-old physicist who believes that the Internet is ushering in the end of paper-based communication among research scientists.
		In particular, Dr. Ginsparg's system is a direct challenge to the hallowed 200-year-old practice of peer review, the process by which a scientific paper is evaluated by colleagues before it is published.
		Some scientists believe that electronic systems like Dr. Ginsparg's are actually changing the scientific process itself, especially considering the months that usually pass between the time a paper is submitted to a print journal and its publication.

		Ginsparg, who came up with the idea 10 years ago during a stay at Aspen, is often credited by his peers with revolutionizing scientific communication.
		In the old days, he recalled, while his year-old daughter Miryam stalked him across the stage of the auditorium here, physicists used to send their papers by e-mail to one another, but the storage capacity of their computers was limited.
		Ginsparg, who will have a joint appointment in physics and in the computer science department, hopes it can expand into other areas of science and even beyond science.

	Current Awareness Abstracts --- 95-1052 Storming the barricades (the impact of the Internet on peer reviewing). (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Paul Ginsparg has set up an electronic publication service which started in 1991 as an electronic clearinghouse for preprints in high energy physics.
		To date, Ginsparg's clearinghouse has maintained a high standard but this could be misleading as all the preprints are destined to appear in rigorously refereed paper journals.
		Electronic publishing is not cut and dried, with advocates arguing that it offers the possibility of a publishing continuum encompassing everything from sparky ideas in preprint format, all the way to full papers in rigorously refereed online journals, all of which could make or break a scientific reputation.

	E-Print Archive Moving From Los Alamos Lab to Cornell
		Physicist Paul Ginsparg, who created and maintains the archive -- known by scientists around the world as "arXiv.org" -- will join the Cornell faculty this fall, and he is bringing the archive with him.
		Ginsparg was named a fellow of the American Physical Society in November 2000 "for his work relating to chiral symmetry on the lattice, for fundamental contributions to string theory and for establishment and development of the revolutionary Los Alamos E-Print Archive."
		The result, Ginsparg has said, is to "level the playing field." Researchers in Third World countries, where paper copies of journals may arrive months after publication if at all, have the same access to research reports as do researchers in industrialized nations.

	The relevance of Peircean semiotic to computational intelligence augmentation
		Ginsparg and his associates seem to have been aware from the beginning that something of potentially momentous importance had been accomplished by the relatively simple act of installing the archive and server system on the internet with a policy of unrestricted access to deposit and retrieval.
		When the existence of the Ginsparg system became widely known, beginning some five or six years or so ago, it generated much “viewing with alarm”, and dire predictions about the inevitable decline in quality of research in the fields using the system were common.
		Although the approach taken here may suggest the contrary, this is not said as a general negative criticism of the role of editors, whose selective and organizing function in research is indispensable and who deserve far more appreciation for their efforts than they commonly receive.

		Paul Ginsparg is a physicist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico USA.
		Originally dedicated to papers in Ginsparg's own field (high-energy theoretical physics), the archive grew rapidly, attracting over 1000 users after a few months, and more than 3800 after several years.
		Ginsparg himself remains very active in debates about the prospects and problems of electronic scientific publishing; in February 1996 he delivered a paper on the subject at an international conference sponsored by UNESCO, where he was interviewed by National Public Radio.

	Wired 2.10: Goodbye, Gutenberg
		Paul Ginsparg, a high-energy theoretical physicist at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, was frustrated both by the inequities of the preprint system and by journal publishers' disinterest in electronic media.
		To Ginsparg's surprise, the system quickly became the primary means of communicating research data within his field.
		According to Ginsparg, the system is now one of the largest and most active databases on the Internet, serving more than 20,000 users from at least 60 countries and processing the stunning sum of 30,000 or more messages a day.

	refereeing
		In my opinion, the real reason that Cornell has fllisted me is that Paul Ginsparg dislikes me because in the year 2000 I supported a friend of mine, Carlos Castro of Clark Atlanta University, in a controversy involving the e-print archives, then being administered by Los Alamos.
		Paul Ginsparg, 46, Ithaca, N.Y.; professor of physics and computing and information science at Cornell University who created a computer-based system for physicists and other scientists to share their research results.
		As I see it, Cornell and Ginsparg are embarrassing and harming themselves by failing to carry out their declared policy of open authorship, not only with respect to me but also with respect to others on the fllist.

		Initially, however, PubMed Central won't work the same way as the physics publishing model established by Ginsparg in his physics e-print archive, where research is submitted to the open-access archive before peer review and publication to encourage rapid distribution of research results.
		Ginsparg represents Los Alamos as a member of PubMed Central's national advisory committee.

	IX. A Librarian Speaks
		But it is also hardly the case that Ginsparg's system resolves all the myriad issues involved in the transition from print to electronic publishing and distribution of scholarly articles.
		In the meantime, despite the success of Ginsparg's preprint system, more research is needed in the areas of interface design, organization and classification of machine-readable files, the creation of machine-readable archives which will remain accessible for centuries, etc. Even though it is based on previously published material, CORE is helping to address these thorny issues.
		Paul Ginsparg's intention may have been as stated above, but part of the effect was to promulgate a highly misleading description and unjustified criticism of a project in which I (and many others) have invested several years.

		The physics community will mark the tenth anniversary of the "e-print" server this month during a meeting on strings in Aspen, Colorado, where Paul Ginsparg, a theoretical physicist at LANL, originally had the idea for xxx.lanl.gov. After the meeting, however, Ginsparg will move the server, now named arXiv.org (pronounced ar-chi-v), in a new direction.
		"Ginsparg is an important hire because he is an excellent theoretical physicist and because his arXiv is transforming the way physicists interact with each other and with their scientific literature," says Peter Lepage, head of physics.
		In fact, says Ginsparg, "in physics this set of resources was established long before any of the publishers had discovered the Internet.

	Carlos Castro: "My Struggle with Ginsparg (arXiv.org) and the Road to Cyberia"
		Having explained the sequence of events that led to the beginning of my problems with Ginsparg in early February 2000, I must add that I wrote a letter to NPB denouncing what I thought to be their shameful behavior.
		In addition, Ginsparg accused me of having posted a paper with a false institutional affiliation by one of my colleagues, M. EL Naschie who is the chief editor of the Journal of Chaos, Solitons, and Fractals (CSF) published by Elsevier.
		In the two year period of 2001-2002, during the transition from Los Alamos to Cornell of the e-archives, I was able to avoid Ginsparg's radar and post 20 papers in the hep-th archive category, both as a single author and with other co-authors, from different e-mail accounts of colleagues in Colombia, Italy and Slovenia.

		Physicists in every corner of the world can start their day by checking postings on the e-print arXiv (arXiv.org), which has made new results rapidly accessible to everyone, not just, as in earlier times, to a select circle of researchers and large labs that sent each other preprints.
		Ginsparg, who earned his PhD at Cornell 20 years ago, says he moved mainly for personal and family reasons.
		But LANL was an unpredictable guardian to the archive: "At a weapons lab, a project like this has never been central to the overall mission," says Ginsparg, adding that "middle managerial pettiness and small-mindedness" were "pertinent" to his decision to leave.
