That's exactly right. It takes some expertise to be able to sort out which papers are interesting and which ones are not. That expertise is not typically held by amateurs. But then again, ArXiv is not intended to be a place for amateurs to browse to learn a subject. Now, the amateur (like me) might fuss and complain, "But how then am I supposed to acquire this expertise?" The answer is to *start* with books and articles aimed at the beginner. In those books and articles, you will find references to further reading, which will point to articles in ArXiv or in published journals, and those are the ones that you should select to read. > > Next problem is, that the access is still limited, since not everybody > could store papers there, but only members of certain universities and > some other authors or people, who are promoted by authors, that belong > to the 'insiders'. Well, it's not a completely unmoderated forum, that's correct. It is not sci.physics.relativity, nor is intended to be. > > This is the disease called 'Academia' in electronic form, but not a > solution to certain problems of scientific research. > > The problem arises, if 'outsiders' have something to say, since they > could not publish there. That's true, but that doesn't mean you're out of options. You can create a blog. You can post to unmoderated forums (like this one). The real problem is that you don't want the audience of a blog or an unmoderated forum. You want the audience of ArXiV. But the fact is, you're not actually entitled to that audience until you earn it. It seems to be a common misconception that scientific communication should be completely open and unmoderated and unfiltered, so that anyone with an interest in the subject will be visible and have their ideas heard. That is both an unrealistic and unreasonable expectation. > > 'academia' is a problem, since if 'insiders' decide about the progress > in science, they would most likely perpetuate, what already the > forefathers knew. This I disagree with wholeheartedly. The Nobel Prizes are prime examples of physicists strenuously disagreeing with what their forefathers knew. -- Odd Bodkin --- maker of fine toys, tools, tables
