Visibility
E O S
An author‟s own testimony on open
access visibility
“Self-archiving in the PhilSci Archive has
given instant world-wide visibility to my
work. As a result, I was invited to
submit papers to refereed international
conferences/journals and got them
accepted.”

Professor Martin SkitmoreSchool of Urban Design, QUT
“There is no doubt in my mind that ePrints [his university
repository] will have improved things – especially in
developing countries such as Malaysia … many more
access my papers who wouldn‟t have thought of
contacting me personally in the „old‟ days.
While this may … increase … citations, the
most important thing … is that at least
these people can find out more about what
others have done…”

“Just last week, the General Manager of
Sustainable Development from an
Australian rural industry called me – based
on reading one of my research papers in

He loved what he read ..... and we are now
in discussion about how we can help them
measure their industry‟s social impacts.”
