Abstract

The article focuses on online availability of the entire full-text refereed research corpus and it's availability on every researcher's desktop for 24 hours a day. It also examines interlinking of all papers and citations and fully searchable, navigable, and retrievable research papers. Moreover, a toll-free, interoperable, digital research literature will not only radically enhance access, navigation and impact, and thereby improve research productivity and quality, but it will also spawn new ways of monitoring and measuring impact, productivity and quality (e.g., download impact, links, immediacy, comments, and the higher-order dynamics of a citation-linked corpus) that can be analyzed from preprint to post-post print.
